In depth
Verdict
Nobilissime does not look badly treated off a mark of 73, bearing in mind she had the likes Cassirer and Zandicular behind , when winning her maiden at Newmarket. If she is fit after her lay off she will take plenty of beating. Nellie Melba, a winner over this trip on the All-Weather, will be happier at this level, while Daana, an expensive failure at Catterick, does not look one to place too much faith in. Island Destiny, is nowhere near as good as her full-sister, Group one winner Balisada, but Hot Jazz may show improvement now she tackles handicappers.
