Verdict
NOBLEST has to be forgiven a poor effort at Chepstow back in June but was placed at Newmarket before that. The Haggas yard has been rattling-in the winners again this week and she gets the vote ahead of the returning Thawraat. The latter was second at Lingfield when last at the track nearly a year ago while Shamlan is likely to have improved from a debut fourth at Thirsk last month. The remainder have some catching up to do to get involved but the newcomer Muhazwara is related to three winners and worth a second glance.
