Verdict
Six of these arrive on the back of a win with CULDAFF boasting the best form. He won a higher grade nursery than this at Haydock with a subsequent winner back in third and may have enough to keep a host of maiden winners at bay. Nezar makes most appeal of the latter group having made a winning debut at Windsor as did La Tinta Bay, though the latter's victory came over 5f. Claim The Roses and Cornish Path scored on the Polytrack while Finn Class opened his account in a handicap at Chester and steps up in class for this.
