Marco Botti often targets Nottingham with his juveniles so BRAVO YOUMZAIN is backed to score at the second time of asking. The Invicible Spirit colt did not secure the clearest of runs at Newmarket but he should have learnt a great deal from that experience. Medicoe carries the famous 'Harris Tweed' colours though he is much more precocious than the William Haggas' stalwart. Having flopped on debut at Ripon, he produced a far superior effort at Yarmouth and can be expected to go close. Blessington was exceptionally green on introduction at Windsor and there should be more to come. Pleasant Moment is an interesting newcomer from the Tom Dascombe stable. Her yard has been in decent nick of late and there seems to be plenty of soft ground influences within her pedigree.
