In depth
Verdict
An ordinary looking seller but the three against the field look to be Staff Nurse, Senor Bond and Honan with the vote going to Staff Nurse. A winner back in April and having run some fine races in defeat since Staff Nurse looks a mare who could be coming back to herself on the evidence of her latest effort when finishing an eye catching second of eight at Southwell. She had Scippit a long way behind her that day and if reproducing the same level of form will go close. Senor Bond is better than most of these on the level but was beaten a long way on his hurdles debut at Cartmel last time out. This is a drop in grade so is worth noting in the market. As is Honan who has his own ideas about the game but if in the right frame of mind would go very close. But for the winner we return to Staff Nurse.
