None of these have visited the winner's circle yet in what looks an uninspiring nursery but CHICONOMIC was only a nose away from opening her account at Brighton last time when seemingly suited by the drop in trip and is taken to get off the mark here. It was interesting to see In The Spotlight heavily punted into favouritism last time when disappointing at Wolverhampton but her style of running suggested that she'll be best suited by blasting out to try and make all over the minimum trip. She's one to note, especially if the money comes for her again. The Big Short is another testing the waters at this distance and is respected along with Dixie Peach, who could well improve for the application of a first-time hood on her nursery debut after proving a major disappointment latest after a couple of respectable efforts.
