PROFESSOR NICK (6) narrowly missed last time when second over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Looks well placed so expect another big run. EL FAITE (5) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt). Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. DUO (2) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fourth at Thistledown (Dirt) over 5½f, beaten 7 lengths. Shapes as one to consider. DUSTY BILLY (4) is a two-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Danny Bird. By Birdrun from Dusty Lily. Top-three chance.
