Verdict

Nuts N Bolts arrives on the back of a double over 2m4f at Ayr and is progressing well but was no match for REAL MILAN at the same track in January. Jason Maguire took no chances with the latter after he landed awkwardly at Ascot last Saturday and pulled him up but he can take this with normal luck-in running. Fill The Power had been threatening to score before falling at Wetherby last time where Fentara finished third to Goulanes. Fentara should be in the mix once again but Wave Power has plenty to find and My Friend George is readily dismissed.
