NUBAR BOY won a division of this sprint series over C&D last Saturday with Italian Tom and Royal Intruder behind. He won a shade cosily in the end and is taken to go in again today. Valmina was only beaten a length when fourth in the other division of the selection's race a week ago and should confirm that running with Catalyze, Memphis Man and Cut The Cackle, while the latter had earlier beaten Waterloo Dock over track and trip. Cliffords Reprieve has just the one victory in a maiden to his name in 17 starts though he did go very close over 5f here last time and can't be ignored.
