Nutkin is given one more chance and is preferred to Sayyedati Symphony and Badalona. The selection disappointed twice in the space of around a fortnight over ten furlongs in May although there were legitimate excuses for her defeat at Folkestone. Her yard were going through a quiet patch at the time though and are in far better form now; she's been given a short break and may well return in top form. Sayyedati Symphony has been sent in search of Black Type this season and has run some fair races but this is a more realistic assignment and she looks sure to run a big race with Moore taking the ride. Rydal Mount wouldn't want the ground to dry up and is on a career high but the consistent and quietly progressive Badalona could reach the frame again. Polar Annie ran well on reappearance and is of interest again despite a small rise in the weights but Nutkin has threatened to be better than her current mark in the past and can deliver today.
