Nearly A Gift can be forgiven her run at York behind Bomber Jet, where she was drawn on the unfavourable stands' side. Her earlier form stands up to scrutiny and she shouldn't be far away here. Nimiety's Newmarket third was made to look better when winning Pimpernel finished in the frame in a Listed contest at Salisbury on Thursday. She led at this distance at HQ so the drop in distance won't faze Mark Johnston's filly and she makes more appeal than stablemate and top weight Mabroor, though her jockey Richard Hills could also have presumably ridden Sanad. Imelda Mayhem won at Ffos Las last month but looks held by Nimiety on earlier running while Democretes was raised a couple of pounds after finishing second on the Polytrack. The once-raced Brickfielder is open to improvement, however, but so is CHOOSEADAY who faced a stiff task at the weights at Nottingham last time having won nicely over this C&D on debut. He is feasibly treated for his first nursery.
