A competitive nursery in which all appear to have some sort of chance. Cavalluccio has placed twice over 6f but isn’t certain to stay this far on breeding. A similar comment applies to Loquace but Mr Professor has already won over a mile at Kempton. MADAME AMBASSADOR had Almighty Rave behind when winning at Nottingham. She couldn’t confirm that form with third Night Arc when 6lb higher at Salisbury but was only headed inside the final furlong and will make this a true test. Silks Dream has disappointed since showing promise in his first two races.
