EXCEPTIONAL (NAP) fairly bolted up at Pontefract nine days ago and it’s unlikely a 6lb penalty will prevent the Cheveley Park filly from recording a third win in four starts with Connor Murtagh’s claim halving the extra. Nehaall won at Wolverhampton in January and looks progressive but James Fanshawe’s runners have been needing a run so Penpal is best watched. I'm Available has had a run but the selection is receiving 7lb including a weight-for-age allowance. Al Dawodiya looks a bigger danger as she was making headway at Newbury eight days ago when hampered and is probably on a fair mark.
