Verdict
This doesn't look as competitive as the first division, contested by mainly out of form horses. One who doesn't fit that category is the evergreen Nineacres, who retains all his enthusiasm despite his advancing years. There was no disgrace in his second to easy winner Erracht on Saturday evening and with so many doubts about his rivals, he is taken to land the 15th win of his career. Attorney bounced back to form here last month and wasn't disgraced behind Jodeeka here last week. He does need a flat out gallop to be at his best, something he is unlikely to get in this. Quite Times may find these too sharp for him over this trip ,while both Rita's Rock Ape and Sotonian look some way below their best at present.
