Verdict
As one would expect a competitive final for this nursery series with Camacho Chief sure to be well fancied after his win at Musselburgh where he looked progressive. However, CLUBBABLE looks slightly more interesting on her handicap debut having shaped well last time and she along with Magic Jazz look to be leading contenders here. Mark Johnston has had a very good season with his juveniles and Poetic Steps is the preferred of his duo here with Acromatic the most appealing of the longer priced runners.
