Hazzard County, Nabra and Napoleon Dynamite are the three against the field here and Nabra is taken to follow up a promising debut and continue the good form of the John Gosden yard. After a promising debut at Newmarket, Hazzard County has failed to fulfil that promise since. He has had two further outings, and although running respectably, has been backed down to favouritism but has failed to oblige. He has been placed each time he has run but the suspicion is that he may be one paced and he is taken on. After two disappointing runs early in the season, John Hills' Napoleon Dynamite showed sinificant improvement to finish a close fourth at Lingfield recently. He is likely to be sharper for the outing and is worth consideration. Michael Jarvis' Tawaagg is an interesting debutant but Nabra can put her experience to good use. She was only third on her debut in a small field over the course and distance two months ago but the stable is firing now and it is hoped that Nabra will have progressed sufficiently to take this.
