Verdict
NUGGET took a further step forward when scoring in good style at Doncaster two weeks ago. Fruition was a staying-on third that day so may be suited this longer trip but still has more than four lengths to find, though is 6lb better off. Glenties continues to frustrate while Al Maysan has been raised 2lb since last week’s course and distance third.
