Stamina may be an issue with a few of these, though Down Time was second over course and distance two runs ago. NICKI'S NIPPER is probably the form on recent placed effort here over 2m4f so we'll take the chance that Sam England’s charge lasts home. Broadway Belle ran her best race so far at Wetherby last month so she may be the pick of the remainder as King Of The Dark is better over fences.
