Nonrunner
BROTHER CHA and Nightjar have obvious claims whilst Kindest may well have more to offer this season. Luca Cumani's runner is put forwards as the likeliest winner although he will need to settle better than he did at Kempton on debut for this yard if he's to last home. Prior to that, he had beaten a progressive horse from this yard at Chepstow and he should win his share of races. Nightjar has only won once on turf but won't go down without a fight whilst Kindest hails from a yard in form and appeals as the type to find further improvement through the season; the market may be the best guide to her chance. Lucky Redback has been a little disappointing since making a winning reappearance but is better than the bare form of his run at Leicester suggests. Ryan Moore is a positive booking for Satwa Laird, Standpoint won over course and distance for Sir Michael Stoute and has shown promise in a couple of starts for his new yard, Kingswinford comes here on the back of a decent run whilst there may be more to come from Regeneration for this yard but Brother Cha is our fancy to land the spoils.
