Apart from a disappointment on his penultimate outing, NENDRUM (NAP) has enjoyed a very consistent time this year, including two fluent successes at Musselburgh. He ran an excellent race here last month when just succumbing to the useful Morning With Ivan and goes well for claiming jockeys. He's nicely treated when Rachael McDonald's allowance is factored in and can regain the winning thread. Bahrikate can usually be relied upon to run her race and can go well for the Corbetts off her unchanged mark on the back of a pleasing placed effort latest while An Fear Ciuin has a string of placed efforts to his name around here and should prove competitive again with Paddy Brennan an interesting booking. Politeness is probably best watched after a year away.
