Verdict
PIMPERNEL wasn't beaten far in Listed company last time with Responsive a couple of lengths behind. She had Nimiety back in third when winning a similar nursery on the July course here before that and a reproduction should be good enough to land this. Hawfinch ran a shocker in the Sweet Solera last time but cannot be discounted on her earlier form, while Ziefhd and Way Too Hot have shown enough to suggest they can be competitive at this level. Dare To Dream won a lesser handicap at Newbury last time and makes most appeal of the remainder.
