FormscanBy Tom Weekes - French import LE NEZ CREUX (4) has only raced on testing ground conditions but it is hoped she will handle today’s good ground, as she has some smart form. Well-related, the selection has won twice at top French venue Auteuil and finished fifth of 16 in a Grade 1 course event last November, prior to selling the following day for E320,000. It is hoped she will progress from her Ayr reappearance and to continue progressing, being just a five-year-old. Blood Destiny has won two Grade 3s and is ideally suited by this trip and good ground, but has plenty weight. Lisleigh Lad is 6lb higher than when scoring at Wexford and is also 1lb out of the handicap while Coming Up Easy returns following a break.
