Although he was pulled up on his point-to-point debut, Nomination Game is an interesting contender and worth noting in the betting. It will be interesting to see if the market speaks for fair Flat perfomer Qaviy Cash and the same can be said of Veiled Secret and Silver Hollow, but preference is for AIR NAVIGATOR , a good bumper performer who can be forgiven his lapse on his hurdling debut at Newbury. Quest For Life is another to consider.
