Nibras Shadow went close over 7f last time and cheekpieces are applied while Never Said Nothing was only beaten a neck at Wolverhampton. Glendun has also been in the mix at Wolverhampton lately while ACROSS THE NILE placed at the latter track three weeks ago. The latter had finished runner-up in a tougher contest than this at Kempton before that and James Ferguson’s filly gets the vote back on the Polytrack. Catch My Breath, Jenson Benson, Sunshine Fun and Fox Leicester all won their penultimate starts with the latter preferred back over today’s trip.
