These races are notoriously difficult to forecast but NIMIETY may have got in lightly. Mark Johnston's filly showed the benefit of her opening run with an all-the-way success over 6f at Newcastle where the further they went the better she looked. A mark of 71 looks fair and she can gallop these rivals into the ground. Pimpernel won a minor race at Lingfield on her debut but had little chance against Stonefield Flyer in a three-runner race at Doncaster next time. She might be better suited by today's trip but has plenty of weight. Salford Art stayed on stoutly to score over 6f at Windsor and the extra furlong is just what's required, while the run of Royal Blush at Goodwood should be completely ignored as his saddle slipped on leaving the stalls.
