Verdict
Few make any appeal and NEMORUM is taken to go in again after winning over track and trip with plenty left in the tank. Fast Flo and Cabaret Show finished behind the selection while Marisitta posted her best effort to date over a mile here on her all-weather debut though has switched yards since. Crystal Dawn has failed to build on an earlier second at Wolverhampton and cheekpieces are added to the usual tongue-tie.
