Division one of the nursery and THAUMATOLOGY is given the vote to win it; Telling Stories and Hawkspring could be those to cause him most problems. Three outings to now have not seen Thaumatology come near to troubling the judge but although beaten into sixth place at Great Leighs last time in maiden company, she only gave way in the closing stages having raced close to the pace throughout. Telling Stories is bred to be effective over trips in excess of a mile. Seven furlongs seemed to be on the sharp side for him last time but his second at Southwell, on what was his second start on the track would see him involved. Hawkspring was claimed from George Baker's yard having landed a Southwell seller on his second start. He seemed outpaced at Kempton and may need further while Dream Huntress showed more last time following two disappointing efforts. Thaumatology is given the vote to win it.
