Verdict
Nuzha has her first start both on this track and for her new stable and may prove best watched on this occasion unless the money speaks strongly of her chance. Fleeting Glimpse is another having a first run for a new yard but has proved inconsistent to date while the likes of Fly True, Silver Penny and Keep It Dark have not been in the best of form on recent starts. A chance is taken that DEBONAIRE DAVID can strike on this belated reappearance. He's the one with most scope after just five starts last term, which concluded with two very solid all-weather efforts - a repeat of either would see him bang in the mix.
