A very open nursery can go to Dhekraa, with Figaro Flyer and Piccelina just two of many dangers. Michael Jarvis's filly hit winning form in a six furlong event at Haydock, beating the good yardstick Wovoka in a tight finish. She looked to be coasting home a furlong out, but in the end only just held on and left the impression that she would much prefer this trip. Figaro Flyer has performed with credit in similar company recently and although the handicapper may have his measure he should still be capable of reaching the frame. Piccelina couldn't have been more impressive when landing her maiden at Folkestone last month. It will have been hard for the handicapper to assess this one and she may have been let in quite lightly. Guto and Multiple also come here in winning form and must also enter calculations, however Dhekraa is expected to relish this drop to five and is our idea of the winner.
