Verdict

Bollin Nellie was disappointing when last seen out but had previously shown progressive form to land back-to-back wins at Thirsk and York and has proved herself in these conditions. Tim Easterby's mare is 7lb better off with Court Shareef for a beating of five and a half lengths when the pair clashed at Haydock and is the TEAMtalk selection to bounce back to form. Afadan is not the easiest to predict but has definite claims under a 3lb penalty for a comfortable success over this trip in softish conditions at Newmarket earlier in the month while Robandela is another to consider after a string of fair efforts in similar company of late.
