Verdict
Winning hurdler and chaser MIXBOY has turned to the Flat in fine form having made all over this trip at Ripon before fading over an extra 3f on heavy ground at Ayr when well supported. This looks his trip and ground on the level so he can gain compensation. Michael Bell's horses are always worth a second look on this track and the lightly-raced maiden Nurse Nightingale hasn't been beaten far in any of her last three runs and is on a fair mark. Jabbaar stepped up to this trip for the first time here 10 days ago and stayed on strongly to land the spoils with Henry Smith close up in third and Mr Sundowner behind. John Weymes' charge has a chance of reversing the form on the revised terms while Henpecked is back in a bit of form, though her best recent runs have been on Tapeta.
