NANKEEN always looked in control when defying a penalty at Wolverhampton last month and remains a good prospect going into handicaps off what looks a fair opening mark. Diderot showed useful form for Ger Lyons in the first half of last season and has since changed hands for 90,000 gns. He rates the obvious threat.
