Verdict

An interesting nursery, one in which Letsimpress might just be able to get back to winning ways. Turning to his rivals and Rehia has won a Leicester seller but has performed with credit subsequently in a Kempton nursery. Eastern Pearl put up a best-yet performance to get to within a length of Johnny Parkes last time, so is improving, as you would expect juveniles to be doing at this time of year. St Regs has found one too good for him in each of his last two outings but the form is solid in the context of this race. Phluke has a fairly similar profile, while the selection's form has tailed off in his last two outings after having been considered good enough, when he first came over from Ireland, for Royal Ascot before that. All The More has also been performing with credit but might just be vulnerable off topweight. It's a tight little affair but, with his stable in such good form, we'll opt for Letsimpress.
