Verdict
One of the few Listed races at Colwick Park, and Ringmoor Down, Indian Maiden and Honey Ryder all have chances, but we will side with Kind. The Roger Charlton-trained selection thrived last season, with a nap hand of victories on all types of going. She was beaten giving 4lb to Indian Maiden at Bath first time out this season, but takes on that rival from level weights here, and we think she will strip fit enough to turn the tables there and take this valuable prize. Indian Maiden does look progressive and a win would by no means be a shock, though she has not won on ground this fast on turf before and we will oppose. Ringmoor Down has an obvious chance at the weights, and plenty of experience in this sphere. She looks sure to go well, but she doesn't see out six furlongs quite so well these days, while Honey Ryder receives plenty of weight and has not been penalised for her Newmarket handicap success last weekend, so a big run from her is anticipated. However, Kind can make the most of the 2lb she receives from Ringmoor Down here and return to winning ways.
