This is a pretty tricky Nursery Handicap to call and we'll take a small chance that LITTLE BRAZILIEN is well treated on her handicap bow while Firetrap needs respecting along with Candyfloss Girl. It is a concern that the selection was so bad on her latest attempt but she might be the type to improve for handicap company especially off a mark that looks lenient having two starts ago been within a length of a pair now competitive off ratings in the mid-eighties. Firetrap made an encouraging debut in these ranks off this mark last time when third of 10 at Catterick. Before hand he was making mild progress in maidens and further improvement would see him as a strong challenger. Candyfloss Girl has the added plus of having raced at this course and it was a good run when placed off this mark last time. This is her first attempt at the minimum trip but it should suit. Flapjack is a possible if building on a solid run in selling company last time but in a tough race we'll take a slight risk in backing Little Brazilien
