A trappy closer with KISHANDA making some appeal off an unchanged mark, having shown steady improvement over her last three runs. A repeat of her runner-up effort here earlier in the month in a similar contest should certainly see her in the mix, whilst she should handle any cut in the ground having placed three times on the Fibresand. The step up in trip also looks a positive. Norman The Great is now 3lb lower than when filling the minor placing at Chepstow in May and should be happier returning to this trip after an abortive attempt over further last time. Mons Calpe is best watched for the time being so Nutshell is preferred for shortlist inclusion off a decent mark.
