Verdict
A moderate nursery but DOCTOR GRACE and Fendi occupied the places in a similar race over 7f last month, both staying on from the rear, and can fight this out. Scat Maggie was up with the pace before weakening so looks held, as does Reigles, while Rossmore Nation's run here last month came in a claimer. Zentopia has run better than his finishing positions indicate and can get into the frame with Robert Whearty's claim a bonus.
