In depth
Verdict
Nusoor is the pick here, ahead of Pretty Miss and Loyal Royal. Despite winning a similar contest here a week ago, Peter Grayson's gelding is well in at the weights, with Kirsty Milczarek claiming 3 pounds, and will probably again attempt to to make all. Henry Candy's filly Pretty Miss could be a rival early on upfront, and if she can make her draw advantage count, could hold on. Milton Bradley doesn't run too many 3 year olds, but Loyal Royal looks to have a chance. Well drawn, he ran a fine 3rd at Bath on Wednesday night, and further improvement could see himcome out on top. On paper this looks the most competitive race of the night, so a fairly tentative selection is Nusoor.
