Little Nosegay is a speedy type who is well drawn. She won a claimer here last year though was behind a number of these over track and trip last time. GNAAD was odds-on for a Lingfield maiden earlier this month but had to be switched just as he was making his challenge and lost out by the smallest of margins. Compensation awaits here with a clear run as he is among the least exposed of these. Night Shadow is also lightly raced but hasn’t been showing the same progress. Dashing Poet was below par last time at Kempton but Billy's Boots is capable of making the frame and preferred to Glam'selle and Celerity, second and fourth behind School Run here last time.
