The feature race on the card also looks the toughest to sort out, but we will give the tentative vote to NASHMIAH, with both Splashdown and Hidden Brief worth noting. The selection won well in a similar grade race at Goodwood last month confirming her class in the process. She has conditions in her favour once again and if recapturing her form she will not be far away. Splashdown won a listed contest at Newbury in June and was not discredited after finishing second at Salisbury last time out and another bold effort can be expected. Hidden Brief is still unexposed with only four runs under her belt. She broke her maiden tag last time out in an above average looking maiden at Newbury but this will be a tougher task so a personal best will be required. Nashmiah proved herself as being decent and she looks certain to progress through the ranks.
