Verdict
Great Nicanor's much improved effort over a longer trip at Wolverhampton last time gives him a chance if he takes to the Fibresand, but DUKE LIAM looks a safer proposition. Dandy Nicholl's charge found only the odds-on shot Fistful Of Dollars one too good over C&D last week and can find enough improvement to go one better today. Cat Queen is thoroughly exposed and the remainder have shown little to recommend them so far, though Kingshill Lad may do better with last month's debut at Lingfield under his belt.
