NUBLE is upped a grade bidding for a hat-trick but an apprentice’s allowance negates a 5lb penalty and Marco Botti’s mare may edge this ahead of Classy Dame. The latter missed out by only a head over course and distance last time and has every chance but Who Cares Wins returned a disappointing favourite at Wolverhampton recently still looking for a first win along with Gleneaglet and Santa Florentina.
