Verdict
The two four-year-olds at the head of the weights can fight out the finish of this with RONDE DE NUIT (NAP) preferred to the less-exposed Nostalgica. Philip Hobbs’ filly has been dropped a couple of pounds and is best on sharp tracks like this. Karannelle looks the pick of the remainder as she was second here off this mark in May, though has been beaten in four starts since.
