Nutty Times has the best form of the trio to have raced previously and is preferred to the newcomers Lady Erica and Voice of An Angel. The selection found just Little Biscuit too good in a Wolverhampton maiden last month and is entitled to strip fitter for the outing. However, that did not look to be a particularly strong contest and none of the newcomers would need to be out of the ordinary to take a hand. Lady Erica is a daughter of Komaite who does well with his progeny on the all-weather. She makes more appeal than Alan Berry's Voice Of An Angel. Glasson Lodge is likely to know what is required but makes little appeal on pedigree, while Pat Haslam's Nova Tor is likely to need more time. Kilkenny Kitten and Sahara Mist both need to improve on what they have shown so far to take a hand and we prefer to stick with Nutty Times.
