A few of these try various headgear for the first time and thus are slight unknowns however Relinquished has the form in the book and she is the selection ahead of Fandangerina and Park Royal. Now dropped in trip, Jeremy Noseda's daughter of Royal Applause should go well from a mark of 72. She has run well off slightly higher marks recently but seeing as her only win came over this trip, it is likely that she will prove more a force this afternoon from a good draw. Albaqaa has been holding his form well however connections have applied a visor for the first time as they search for his first win and this may help to straighten him out with Martin Dwyer taking the reins for the first time. Park Royal is unexposed and should be a threat on his first foray into nursery company, especially as a return to this trip looks a good move. Maybe I Will hasn't obliged of late but Richard Hannon's hit-and-miss performer certainly has claims on the pick of her form. Fandangerina may well do better over further next year as she matures, whilst Landikhaya drops in trip again and looks sure to run well. A typically open end of season nursery, with Relinquished fancied to lead them home.
