With a handicap rating of 75, Nice Thoughts returns to maiden company after a string of placed efforts. But DINARIA found only Tuco, rated 85, too good at Thirsk last time with Clara Schumann well beaten and Karl Burke's filly should go close on that form. Mujaaher has shown little progress in three starts so far while the newcomer Bounty Time is the first foal of a modest sprinter and will need to be above average to figure.
