Fulham Broadway made a pleasing impression on his debut, but it could pay to side with NEMEROSA who is preferred to Chambers. There is little doubt that Fulham Broadway will be appealing to some punters as he was heavily-backed on his debut at Bath and he ran well in third Brief Encounter. He was an expensive purchase and he should be capable of getting competitive, but he is unlikely to be any value on his all-weather bow and he does have a poor draw to overcome. Nemerosa could therefore be a better bet, as this daughter of Pivotal shaped really well on her debut at Warwick. She looked as though she would come on for the run and she does have a good draw and she should go close. Chambers has only had the three runs but he looks to be going the right way and he showed up well for a long way at Windsor last time out. Ponting will be hoping to hit his rivals for six and he was far from disgraced on his debut. However, this looks quite a hot race and Nemerosa is the selection.
