A typically competitive renewal of this quite valuable nursery and MOREHAMPTON could be the way to go. He shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests returned to sprinting in a listed race at Fairyhouse 3 weeks ago and could make up into a useful handicapper. Nakamura has a big shout in his hat-trick bid, while the classy First Approach and Nazario are also in the mix.
