5/2
Won 2 of her 4 starts thus far and found improvement when close second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 9/2) 28 days ago, slowly away. Faces different conditions here but must be taken seriously.

Off the mark when taking 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 41 days ago, going clear. Raised 13lb since but warrants respect nonetheless.

Latest win at Yarmouth in July. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this course (7f, heavy, 12/1) 5 days ago, suited by way race developed. Not out of things.

Thrice-raced maiden. 7/1, sixth of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, good to soft), considerately handled. Off 155 days. May do better now sent handicapping.

9/4 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 3 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Forecasts

Lady Mariko (9/4), Niminy Piminy (5/2), Maeva (7/2), Naga (7/2), Absolute Star (5/1), Hackney Diamonds (11/1), Miss Chester (50/1)

Verdict

Slow ground is an unknown for NIMINY PIMINY but she upped her game significantly at Kempton last time and is just 1 lb higher here. She gets the nod. Maeva and Absolute Star rate the principal dangers.

  1. Niminy Piminy5/2
