    Verdict

    This is a very tricky and competitive nursery and the vote goes to Midnight Tycoon to concede the weight to I'm Aimee and Dance Anthem. The return to the minimum trip should suit Midnight Tycoon whose best effort to date came in the Brian Yeardley Two Year Old Trophy at Beverley when finishing third to Bolton Hall. Last time at Beverley Midnight Tycoon was a little disappointing over six furlongs at Hamilton but that may turn out to be a better race than it looked and he has a previous win with cut in the ground whereas there are doubts about his rivals handling the ground. I'm Aimee was a good second at Chester behind Nova Tor but her earlier form was only reasonable and while we're sure she will pick up a nursery in due course, this looks a bit hot even with Kieren Fallon on board. Make Us Flush comes from a stable in form but his win came in a claimer last time and although that will have been a confidence booster his overall form is moderate. Dance Anthem was unplaced but not disgraced in the Coventry and had earlier been a decent second to Wilko at Yarmouth. He should be thereabouts but the selection is Midnight Tycoon-he has the best form in the race and handles the ground.
