Verdict

HALF NUTZ is down to 2 Ib lower than when successful in this race last season and might prove the answer to it again having recorded a few good efforts in recent weeks. Heavenly Power will be a threat if back to the form when second in a big field over 6f here last month, while Fernao can't have been right last time and retains potential as a lightly-raced sort from an in-form yard.
