Nakeeta ran a shocker at this track last time having gone close at Beverley before that. Stosur may improve past the former after finishing third in soft ground at Lingfield on her debut but One Picture, Classical Art and Collaboration have shown little so far. Jockey bookings suggest the latter is first choice of Andrew Balding's runners, but a chance is taken on SPECTATOR anyway, as he's a brother to the very smart Side Glance and may well be good enough on his racecourse debut. Bishop Wulstan is another newcomer to note.
