Lothair left previous efforts behind when winning a seller at Hamilton in the summer but Nurse Dominatrix only won a weak contest here two weeks ago and is likely to find a few of these too strong. Noble Jack and Come Hither must have a decent chance in this grade while River Ardeche was only beaten a length over C&D last month and has every chance of going one better. SUNNYSIDE TOM couldn't quicken behind Fayr Falls over 7f here last time but should have no problem keeping up with these and is probably the one to beat if anywhere near the form he showed when second to Fathsta in a Beverley claimer in August.
