      Verdict

      Nandoo looks a stand out here against mainly moderate opposition, the best of whom may be Karakum and Indigo Beach. A weak start to proceedings should ensure that favourite backers get off to a good start, with Nandoo lining up on the back of two wins from three outings. rated just 25 on the Flat, she left Micky Hammond after scoring at Wetherby and looks set to give new connections plenty of fun. She was good enough to chase home Zibeline in between her two successes and nothing here can match that. Karakum has been held in this company and is hard to enthuse about, while Indigo Beach, a dual Fakenham scorer last term, was pulled up on his return and surely cannot give weight away to Nandoo who sets the standard.
