SEQUESTER (NAP) has a huge weight to carry but providing the ground doesn't ease she can carry her 6lb penalty to another victory after completing a double in very impressive fashion at Bath. Nimble Kimble ran her best race for some time at Doncaster though the ground was soft and she could do with some rain. Courier has been going well on Polytrack and her two poor runs on Turf are best ignored as she's improved and didn't enjoy the testing conditions. Shaw Ting showed enough in her first campaign to suggest she'll win races while Robins Pearl has been looking as though this sort of trip would suit.
