NUDGE THE JUDGE is still a maiden after twelve starts but only faded close home last time after leading 3f out and can hang on this time. Paddytheirishman and French Company occupied the minor places over the track and trip last month but the positions can be reversed as the latter didn’t get the run of the race. Ertikaaz has only had five starts and has been staying on over the extended 1m2f so should be suited by stepping up in trip. Scarlet Seymour pops up every now and then as she did here in November so shouldn’t be dismissed in a low-grade handicap.
