Several look set to figure judged on recent good efforts. Nurse Florence finished runner-up at Nottingham and Aventurina was beaten less than a length at Lingfield but PINBALL WIZARD finished third at Windsor behind Blue Moonrise, who went on to land a hat-trick, and Clive Cox’ charge gets the vote on that form. Basharat could go well back over this shorter trip and Ray Day may improve now handicapping for the first time.
