A seller that refuses point blank to appeal as a betting medium can go to Little Nipper ahead of Ellies Faith and Bret Maverick. The selection at least comes here in a modicum of form having run well in defeat last time out at Beverley on ground that was very heavy. Only beaten a length on that occasion, the return to further may well suit and he can go one better today. Bret Maverick is yet to encounter ground this soft and hasn't looked at home on ground with some give in in the past. Therefore he is passed over and of more interest may be Ellies Faith who was third on her reappearance at Redcar. It may be that she has improved from two to three and she can go close, although again better ground may suit more. Of the rest Play Straight encounters soft ground for the first time and if it suits then he can go close, however this poor race can go the way of Little Nipper.
