Neworld may still have a bit of scope and is preferred to plater Unidexter and Vicky's Charm but there has been little encouragement in Kings River's efforts so far. NOLECCE won over course and distance a little under 12 months ago and has been successful twice over 1m4f on Tapeta this year. Tony Forbes' eight-year-old looks the one to be on, though Hallstatt has also won on the Flat this year and is still lightly-raced over timber.
