Oud Metha Bridge is 2-14 around here and has won from a much higher mark. Nuble's two victories came in Argentina but she'll be better for her run at Yarmouth. HE'S OUR STAR (NAP) is rated 10lb higher on Turf after scoring at Brighton in August. He's been narrowly beaten in his last four starts, including over the track and trip in September, and can go in again. Pentimento was only just behind in that latter event and must have a chance of reversing the form though he's never won in 18 starts. Sonnetina hasn't won in 10 all-weather starts and, though consistent enough, has been beaten twice from this mark recently.
