BROUGHTONS HARMONY (NAP) has gone very close in both starts now and looks the one to beat on her latest second to Wavelet over track and trip. Willie Musson's filly is preferred to recent Southwell third Nosey Barker, who finished a couple of lengths ahead of Thou Swell on that occasion. Teputina was placed in a claimer on her debut and looks a likely improver stepping up in distance along with Start Seven but Alhamareer, Semille Obon and the newcomer Pearly Prince look up against it.
Nosey Barker (IRE) 7-4 (9-5) Led, hard ridden when headed over 1f out, no extra final furlong, 3rd of 5, 1 1/4l behind Horseguardsparade (9-10) at Southwell 1m 4f mdn stks (5) pol in Dec.
