NACHO has been kept busy at this venue in recent weeks and he has a good chance of gaining a second victory over C&D today. Carrying a penalty for his win here 10 days ago for the second time this week, he looks to have leading claims against his own age group. Snow Berry caused a shock at Nottingham and she should go close if repeating that effort. Toplight can't be ruled out either.
