Nonno Giulio won a handicap over 7f here earlier this month so warrants respect. Kiwi Bay has already won six times on the track, five times over a mile. The 11-year-old ran a blinder in a Class 4 handicap at Pontefract last week when only finding favourite Irish Optimism too good. Broctune Papa Gio also likes it here while Bling King won in this grade at Nottingham in July. BIG WHISKEY (NAP) hasn't raced since June and has only won on the all-weather so far in this country. But he has at least 12lb in hand on his rivals according to official ratings and the booking of Silvestre De Sousa looks a sign of intent.
