HOPE IS HIGH (NAP) signified an imminent victory when a close second at Yarmouth on her return from a long break and came here for a minor handicap which she won with a bit in hand. She's up 5lb but that doesn't look enough to prevent a quick double. Iballisticvin is steadily improving so it was no surprise when he won at Brighton and he's only 4lb higher while Altaira has been running well over a mile and has a victory over 1m3f in France to his credit. Nanny Mafki should be winning soon though she's been climbing the ratings and Azure Amour's only victory in 22 starts came over this trip from a higher mark.
