The market should be informative regarding the chances of both Excellent Team and Nikki Steel. Irish Hawke has conditions to suit and could run very well for Ella McCain but this competitive heat can go to EQUUS MILLAR for Nigel Twiston-Davies. A couple of bits of his novice form would suggest that his opening mark is very workable and whilst you have to forgive a poor effort on handicap debut, he can come on for these better conditions.
