PUSH ME comfortably won on debut in a seller, and connections bought her back, and she can repay them by taking division two of the nursery, although dangers abound in the form of Angie's Nap and Cape Kimberley. Push Me was held up before winning comfortably in that race, which was at Wolverhampton and over slightly further. She didn't need much encouraging at all and looked more experienced than all her rivals who had raced before. She was due to run at Leicester in a similar contest on Monday, but with fast ground there and her trainer having said she'll prefer some cut in the ground, this may be seen as a better opportunity, especially from stall one. Angie's Nap won here last time out in a five furlongs nursery when making all. She seemed to have a bit in hand, so the step up in trip won't be a problem. She made all on that occasion, but her draw today isn't as favourable. Cape Kimberley has the worst of the draw. He's run here before, but this step up in trip may bring out the best in him. Michaelmas Daisy has seemed regressive, but tries the surface for the first time with first time blinkers and eyeshield, and any market support could be significant. We'll side though with the double-seeking Push Me.
