VALLARTA made a bold bid to make all at Southwell last week and that run showed he was approaching his peak. He was a winner from this mark at Ayr last season and with the trainer's horses running well over the past week he could be the answer to a tricky race. It is anticipated that Nouvelli Dancer will set the pace in this which will help the selection and also
Vimy Ridge and
Lightning Charlie. Both like to come from off a strong pace. Vimy Ridge has a fitness advantage on his side and has been threatening to win soon. The topweight has always produced his best form after a couple of runs and
Fujin may be a bigger threat given his current wellbeing. David Griffiths saddles
Nouvelli Dancer and
Brother Tiger with good riders on board. A market move for either would be interesting.
