Verdict

Connections of Mr Nemo are obviously keen to get a run into their charge and it could be significant if he turns up here are being pulled out with a vet's certificate at Ascot on Saturday. The Venetia Williams-trained Radcliffe and John O'Shea's Cush Jewel are worthy alternatives though and has to be given a second look when the prices are confirmed. However, Mr Nemo has performed well in better races than this of late and is worth giving another chance to with Tony McCoy in the saddle.
