Nevada Royale is very well thought of as a chasing prospect by Paul Nicholls but for the time being he is marking time over hurdles. He won easily last time out at Exeter and looks likely to follow up in the 1.40 at Newbury. One of his opponents will be Aux Le Baahn, a former bumper winner who is still looking to break his duck over timber. Aux Le Baahn has been placed several times this season but has still been a bit of a disappointment. I can’t help thinking he is better than he has shown in his runs this term and it wouldn’t surprise me if he gave the favourite most to do.
Mister Potter has been expensive to follow and to be honest looks as though he might need more time. He was 3rd to the Sawyer at Chepstow on his latest start and does seem to be getting the hang of things. He is dropped down to 2.75 miles in the 2.40 and has an each way chance.
