Verdict
Nabhan hasn’t won on the Flat since landing this under today’s amateur back in 2019. Party Island has been in good form on the all-weather this year and El Conquistador recorded a double on the Polytrack earlier but TRALEE HILLS makes more appeal. The latter escapes a penalty having won an apprentices’ race in soft going at Newbury last week and Serena Brotherton’s presence in the saddle is another positive. Foresee won at Brighton in May and looks best of the rest.
