This looks a competitive nursery with Cuban Secret and Matloob, impressive at Wolverhampton, both winners last time. Yorkshire Terrier is 2-4 but both victories have come on the Tapeta at Southwell. After landing the odds at Ripon, INDISPENSABLE couldn’t handle the step up to Listed company at Newmarket but this is a bit easier. Lady Of Sardinia won her maiden on Polytrack at Chelmsford and was well beaten back on Turf at Bath.
