NIMES (NAP) created a very favourable impression when well supported on debut at Compiegne in March. That’s earned him a small penalty but he should be able to shrug that off against today’s opposition. Yes Indeed has the beating I'm Walkin' and should be winning soon while Shawinigan is jumps bred and showed promise when third to Monmiral over a shorter trip here on his first start. Heros D'ainay is a half-brother to a bumper and hurdles winner and out of a Grade 3 winning jumper so is worth a market check.
