Verdict
No Nay Nicki is penalised for winning a fillies' maiden over 6f at Pontefract last summer and BARLEY is preferred. The latter just failed to catch the winner over a mile at Nottingham in October and an entry in the 2000 Guineas suggests he’s improved over the winter. Several represent powerful yards including the gelded Godolphin runner Border Edge while Goemon is the first foal of a Group 3 winner and Maljoom cost a 160,000gns.
