        Verdict

        Nobratinetta will much prefer today's surface and we believe she can bounce back at the expense of Etching and Toni Alcala. Mary Reveley's charge floundered in the surface at Haydock Park on her latest visit and while one has to look back someway in her form figures, there is enough encouragement on today's surface to suggest that she can play a part here. It will be interesting to see if there is any support for Etching. James Fanshawe's filly was very well backed last time out and dead-heated with Wasted Talent at Bath over twelve furlongs. She stayed two miles during last term's campaign and if the market is positive, this clearly should not be ignored. Toni Alcala won a muddling affair at Musselborough over 1m6f. Even with Fallon aboard, its hard to make a case for him beyond jockey bookings if his previous form over this trip is considered . Riyadh has lost the plot these days. The Whirlingdervish rarely runs a bad race despite a preference for softer ground. Nobratinetta is our pick.
