Verdict
None of these stand out with only a speculative vote going to NANANITA. She’s finished second over 6f the last twice and, though failing to trouble the winner on either occasion, did finish in front of Micronize at Chelmsford last time. Lysander Belle posted a better effort on her handicap debut though that was over 5f and Caramel Curves returns to today’s trip having gone close in a seller at Ripon on her penultimate start. Budaiya Fort, Isabella Red and Rich Approach may improve now handicapping for the first time in a weak contest.
