Verdict
Placed in better company on his last two starts over 1m2f, NOLECCE steps up in trip for the first time here. He looks likely to stay and could take all the beating as Richard Guest's charge ran out a cosy winner the last time he raced at this level. Gems has been holding her form well in similar grade races and won over today's trip at Folkestone earlier this month, while Naledi produced a better effort when runner-up at Nottingham last time but his poor strike rate is off-putting. Olimamu may be capable of better on her turf debut but hurdles winner Dream Catcher returns to the Flat for the first time since 2007.
