Nemi wasn't beaten far when third on his only start at Ffos Las in May while there should be a race in Makari, who was just beaten on his debut at Haydock and found only Rendl Beach too strong over this C&D in December. Shivalric has an eye-catching pedigree and is by far the most interesting of the newcomers but we still prefer LEIGHINMOHR. Already a winning pointer, he's a half-brother to bumper winners Sally's Dream and Foxy Fred so should have the speed to make an impact at this level.
