A maximum turnout for a low grade handicap in which the top weight has a rating of 70, which is little better than a platers mark. If Nuzzle could reproduce her effort behind Tropical Coral at Bath, she would have a chance second to none. However, she does have to put behind her a poor effort last time, but it could be that the ten-furlongs was beyond her there. Back over what could prove to be her optimum trip, she is worth another chance. Blanco appears to be on the upgrade and is certainly at the right end of the handicap. She followed up her win in a seller on the All-Weather by landing a handicap in good style at Nottingham. Off only a 5lbs higher mark here, she is sure to go close. A dual winner on the All-Weather during the winter, Dancing Forest has yet to strike on turf, but there is no doubt she has the ability, if she can be persuaded to use it. Others to consider include handicap debutante Desert Royalty, who is sure to have plenty of supporters with Kieren Fallon on board, and Tintawn Gold, who was thought good enough to take part in the Listed Chesham Stakes as a juvenile, but has yet to hit the target. She didn't shape too badly in an ordinary event at Warwick last month and if there is to be a shock in this, she may be the one to provide it.
