      Verdict

      Flying Pass deserves to get his head in front having found one too good in each of his last two starts but may again have to settle for a minor role with preference for All right My Son, who gets the vote over top weight Noorain. The last mentioned has shown promise in all three of her starts and may do better now that she tackles nursery-company for the first time. Yarmouth selling winner Nordhock was well held in a Brighton nursery last month and is probably best watched. Burton Ash has shown gradual improvement and could be of interest with James Given's stable back among the winners of late, while Guinea A Minute has a nice racing weight. The one that they all have to beat though is All right My Son. Richard Hannon's record in nurseries is second to none and the son of Pennekamp showed that his turn would not be far away when a close fifth behind Silver Wraith in a course and distance nursery two weeks ago. The selection is set to go up 1lb in future weights following that effort and is taken to make the most of the favourable terms today.
