Having only achieved a rating of 102, Nampararoo is hardly bulletproof and was beaten in a seller last time at Southwell. Azamesse is rated 7lb lower and Oscar's Song was tailed off here at the start of the month. Donald McCain runs two but jockey bookings suggest former pointer DARK SUNSET is the pick so she gets a nominal vote.
