A very competive nursery to start proceedings and we will vote to Fusili, Bold Cross and Kilbarri may provide most danger. Mick Quinlan has a good bunch of juveniles this season and it is quite amazing this filly is still a maiden. She was only beaten a short head on her debut and has since run with credit in handicaps and last time finished just seven lengths behind Mufreesboro in a valuable sales race at Newmarket. This is over two furlongs further but she has gone close before over this distance and looks the best option this afternoon. Bold Cross has also gone close on numerous occasions and put in another solid effort last time when chasing home Spunger at Nottingham. The drop back in trip should suit and he should be capable of making the frame. Kilbari was a shade unlucky in running last time but still got within five lengths of the winner North walk in a Redcar handicap. He looks to be on a very decent mark and has to be considered for each-way purposes. The best of the others could be Moi Aussi, but in a wide open affair Fusili just gets the vote.
