Imelda Mayhem kept on nicely when fourth on her debut at Sandown and is entitled to improve for the run. But it's a little off-putting that Stan Moore's two-year-olds are 0-32 at this track over the last five years. Sylvester Kirk's juveniles have fared a lot better so we'll gamble on NUDE improving significantly on her first run at Newbury. She showed a lot of speed before weakening over the 6f trip that day so a drop to the minimum should be in her favour. Triggerlo needs forgiving a shocking effort at Thirsk last time but would have claims on earlier form while any market support for newcomer Ernest Speak should be noted.
