7/2
C&D winner who performed with plenty of credit when a good second of 13 in a 6f handicap here on his latest start in December. 2 lb nudge fair enough and should make his presence felt. Yard also saddles Whistling Jamesie.

Four-time C&D winner late last year and good second in a pretty valuable Newcastle handicap (7f) in January. Failed to fire last time but it would be no surprise were she to bounce back with a bold show.

Ex-French mare who didn't shape badly when eighth of 20 in handicap at Leopardstown on debut for new yard in September, racing wide before making late headway. Rather disappointing at Navan the following month, though, and absent since.

Cheekpieces on and took a step back in right direction when 2½ lengths fourth of 9 over C&D on penultimate start. Another creditable effort at this course 3 weeks later and he's an each-way player.

C&D winner who was a respectable fifth of 10 in a 6f handicap here 7 days ago. Return to this trip will be in his favour and couldn't rule out with Colin Keane up again.

Successful 3 time from 10 runs for George Boughey last year. Looked in need of the run when ninth of 14 in a C&D handicap on yard debut/reappearance 21 days ago and won't be far away if he puts his best foot forward.

9/2
Lightly-raced filly who advanced her form when narrowly striking on nursery debut over C&D in October, despite a tardy start. This is tougher up 5 lb but she's in good hands and may have more to offer this year.

7/1
Left behind previous form and belied market weakness when winning a 14-runner nursery here (6f) on final start of 2-y-o campaign. Gelded since and another step forward needed from 2 lb out of the handicap in this stronger race.

Forecasts

Bishopton (7/2), Venetian (9/2), Spinning Around (9/2), Um Wadi (11/2), Nikki Swango (6/1), Whistling Jamesie (7/1), Musical Act (15/2), Blue Anthem (18/1)

Verdict

Though her latest effort was rather subdued, NIKKI SWANGO has otherwise done nothing wrong for this yard and she will have every chance if able to bounce back. The step back up to this trip will be in Venetian's favour and he is next on the list ahead of Bishopton and C&D nursery winner Spinning Around.

  1. Nikki Swango6/1
  2. Venetian9/2
  3. Bishopton7/2
