RIVER NYMPH finished clear of a subsequent winner when second to Smokey Bear at Newbury last time and the latter has also won again since. That looks strong enough form to land this and Clive Cox’ colt is preferred to Windsor runner-up Agent Shiftwell, who was still beaten five lengths. Of the newcomers, Queen's Course should be noted for the Haggas yard while The Weed Machine is related to host of winners and that pair are preferred to Viaduct and Prince Caspian.
