          Verdict

          Plenty of lightly raced and potentially well handicapped juveniles in opposition for this competitive nursery including Special Envoy. Sir Mark Prescott's charge was making his handicap bow when a most convincing three-length winner over a mile at Yarmouth last week and is only 4lb higher so should go well again in similar conditions. However, the TEAMtalk vote goes to Libre who has been a model of consistency of late and, despite finishing a close runner-up in nurseries on his last three starts, has been dropped an astonishing 5lb so makes plenty of appeal particularly on ground which suits ideally. Count Walewski has shown ability in maidens and could well improve on his first start in handicap company although he has yet to race on ground this testing. Staff Nurse was disappointing last time but has been dropped 4lb and is another who could be a different proposition on this ground so is respected.
