Having shaped really well in her first three races as a juvenile, Nostalgle scored well over this course and distance before struggling a little in testing ground at Newmarket. She has solid claims here but slight preference is for GHADAAYER. A disappointing favourite on her second start following a pleasing debut run, she made an eye-catching winning return at Catterick and could go in again in this company. Singing Sands has the ability to win races and would be a leading contender, but was due to run yesterday. Royal Icon could be one to note, having her first run at Wolverhampton.
