Verdict
Nuns Walk put a string of placed efforts behind her when scoring at Newcastle last time and is upped 4lb. She should be in the mix once again but DIZZY G (NAP) is preferred. A winner at Windsor earlier, the latter is penalised having completed a double with last week’s success at Newbury but this is less competitive and the hat-trick beckons for Karl Burke’s filly. Power To Exceed got off the mark with a course and distance victory in novice company last month and goes handicapping for the first time along with Rotherhithe though the latter has a tough task on her belated seasonal debut.
