In depth
Verdict
Revenir can continue his recent improvement and land this modest affair from Nordwind and The Nibbler. Alec Stewart's gelding progressed from his Newbury debut to finish an excellent second behind New Order in a decent looking maiden at Haydock earlier this month. Frankie Dettori takes the mount once again and the combination look to hold strong claims. Nordwind has shown promise in two Haydock maidens and will not need to improve much to take a hand in the finish here. The Nibbler was well beaten in a claimer last time, but as that was his first ever trip to the racecourse he is entitled to come on for the run. Of the others Fisby contested a hot Newbury maiden on his debut and should be watched in the market, however Revenir has the best recent form and gets our vote.
