In depth
Verdict
A really competitive handicap, but Naughty Nell looks to be the one to be with. Her form from her maiden victory received a boost when the runner-up Wixoe Express, went on to win next time and she could prove to have been let in lightly in this. Majhool could be the one to take advantage of any chinks in her armour. He turned in a sound effort last time, despite having no luck in running and the return to this trip, could bring out the best in him. He has nothing to fear from Semper Paratus on that running. White Cliffs had no chance from his draw last time and will be a danger in this, as will recent course winner Qazween.
