A pretty weak nursery and Mick channon looks to have strong claims running both Llab Nala and Leading Edge and we will side with the last named, Richardthesecond and Carrickmacross are also worthy of a mention. The selection showed much improved form last time out when a close up fourth behind Ridge Wood Dan in a class five contest at Warwick. This looks easier and a repeat run should be good enough. Llab Nala has solid form in sellers and gets in here on a low mark, he should make his presence felt. Richardthesecond holds solid nursery form having finished a decent fifth at Newbury last time, while Carrickmacross has earned his big weight with some decent runs this season. However we will side with the other top-weight, Leading Edge, who is certainly going in the right direction.
