MASTER NIMBUS has been a real fun horse for connections over the years and with John Quinn back among the winners; we believe that the old boy can do himself justice again. Amir Pasha has paid his way on the flat this summer and while it is something of a worry that connections have resorted to using a 7lb claimer to lessen the burden - the course and distance winner has to be on the shortlist. Media Stars is undoubtedly well treated against some of his runs for Jamie Osborne though rarely wins. Bollin Judith makes more appeal over this trip than the 1m4f we saw her over previously. The tonguestrap is persevered with on this ocasion. Extremely So was in the process of running a fair race at Yarmouth before stumbling so that line of form is treated with some caution.
