Lisburn needs a strong pace and should get one here so Mel Brittain's charge gets the nod ahead of Abu Derby and Shadow Bay. The top of the weights can often be the place to look in these tricky Nursery contests and the selection comes here on the back of a good win at Haydock. Needing every yard of the six furlongs on that occasion, this Bahamian Bounty filly handles this ground well and should be able to cope with a 3lb rise in the weights. Happy Anniversary should appreciate the return to grass and to six furlongs but is unproven on ground like this, whilst Abu Derby, Kyle Of Bute, and Polly's Choice may all be capable of better now encountering this handicap company. West Leake represents Barry Hills whose horses are in better form now after a slow season, Time Loup won a weak seller well last time but needs to improve, whilst Gemini Jive's Jargelle run looks as good a piece of recent form as any. A tricky puzzle for punters, with Lisburn just given the vote.
