Pat's Oscar has been easy to back in her two starts this term but she teams up with the champion jockey in this and is likely to attract market support. Niceandeasy is back on the mark off which he finished second at Catterick a year ago but he’s now run six times in handicaps without success. QUICK PICK (NAP) and Perfect Pirate are closely matched on their run behind His Dream at Warwick last month but the former has run three times here and won twice so gets the nod. Drill Baby Drill remains unexposed and will have needed her run at Uttoxeter in November so looks best of the rest.
