Ermine Gray, Seven Shirt, Susiedil and Micky Thin are the ones to concentrate on here with the vote going to the latter Micky Thin. The selection won a weak maiden at Brighton back in April but has since been disappointing to follow over seven furlongs. The drop in trip here should suit and he should go well. Susiedil looks the best of the rest and landed a course gamble at Brighton earlier this month but then disappointed last time at Warwick. The Peter Harris filly does not look the most genuine but could be good enough to take a hand in the finish here. Ermine Grey could go well but is probably better over further, while Mick Channon's Seven Shirt could also be interesting. The Channon yard normally does well in nursery events and any market support should be noted. This race is not as competitive as the numbers would suggest, and Micky Thin is the tentative choice.
