Nietzsche posted his best effort so far when beaten only a length over a shorter trip here. But that was back in November and stablemate WHITECLIFF PARK (NAP) has the more recent form. The latter won over track and trip earlier in the year and winning partner Callum Shepherd is back in the saddle today. Rockliffe went close stepped up to 1m2f last time and should go well while Skylark Lady has a shout dropping back down into this lower grade along with Schoolboy Error. Frivolous Prince is usually thereabouts at this venue though has a bit to find with the selection on earlier running.
