Verdict

Only five runners go to post for this nursery handicap and it is impossible to get away from Rievaulx World who is a confident choice over Simple Rhythm and Camelot Communion. The selection scooted up last time out when the rider didn't move a muscle at Ripon, so he won with bags in hand. Admittedly he has more on his plate today but he is clearly on an upward curve and it should pay to stick with him. Simple Rhythm is an interesting rival as she won a seller in facile fashion last time and she shapes as though she will win races in nursery company. Camelot Communion has a bit to prove at present but she was denied a clear run last time and she remains unexposed so she could be worth another chance. Of the others, Premier Krug is preferred to Jethro Bodine but he has had plenty of chances and we will stick with the progressive Rivaulx World as the pick.
