This looks a very competitive opener and from a shortlist of Moneysupermarket, Pedregal and BLACKWELL NATION, it is the last-named who is taken to lead them home. Across from Ireland for this very winnable race, this daughter of Kheylef looks a likely contender. Her latest sixth at Navan off a 2lb higher mark reads fairly well in the context of this race and she can get off the mark at the tenth time of asking. Bold Bomber ran a better race last time out at Leicester and is a player rated on that form line, Moneysupermarket looks the pick of the Pat Morris runners with the step back up in trip in her favour, whilst Lucky Buddha ran below par last time but continues to slowly edge down the weights and is considered. The drop in trip should suit Ba Globetrotter, whilst Pedregal is a player if repeating his latest third to Secret Venue at Musselburgh. An open race then, however it is Blackwell Nation who is nominated.
