Ninky Nonk has been disappointing since a narrow defeat here in May but Bicep has performed in better company since making a successful debut on Polytrack at Lingfield the same month. The latter finished three lengths behind HI MEH DARLING in a strong Musselburgh nursery last time with Come Quick, who didn't get the run of the race, further behind along with the very slowly-away Alaskan Jewel. Haydock nursery winner Just A Claim never got into contention over 6f at Ripon last week.
