A very competitive nursery with Kabreet and After All two to consider, but for the selection it has to be Intriguing Glimpse. This daughter of Piccolo is progressing at a rate of knots and looks set to land the hat-trick. Strictly on the form of her recent nursery success she should struggle to beat Smokin Joe, however it is only her fourth ever run so more improvement looks guaranteed. Kabreet, who hails from a powerful yard, got into all sorts of problems when down the field over the seven furlong trip last time and is better judged on his previous course and distance victory. Meanwhile After All comes into the reckoning following an excellent second to Maunby Raver here last month, he is also one of the less exposed in the field, so has plenty of scope for progression. Course and distance winner Sweetest Revenge is also worthy of a mention but Intriguing Glimpse could be one step ahead of the handicapper and is taken to oblige.
