Pronounced won over hurdles in August and is on a very low mark on his return to the Flat. NIMITZ looked like winning for most of the way when tackling 1m2f here last time but faded in the closing stages. This is his trip and he should be losing his maiden tag before too long so gets the vote. Marvellous Ways has looked as though she needs further while Misty Mountain is still a maiden and looks a few pounds high. Hope Lake has been showing potential in maidens but faces a stiff task on her handicap debut while Teqany has his first start for Ger Lyons after transferring from the UK. Wild Shot's only victory came over a mile here in August but he's run poorly since.
