Verdict
NATACATA was beaten only a neck on the soft going at Lingfield last time and can go one better in this. Duke Of Vienna finished closer at Limerick on his handicap bow and has subsequently switched yards while Nusra travels over from Ireland having placed at the latter track and Buxlow Boy is upped in trip.
