Northumbria is expected to lead at a strong tempo. THE BRILL BUILDING (1) is a former Victorian who comfortably won here following a 53-day freshen. He was expected to win this grade following, and was narrowly beaten. He's on the improve and can bounce back with Wiggins replacing the 3kg apprentice. NICCONORI (6) has threatened twice since his Maiden win here. He will race forward and has a handy 3kg claim today. Peaks, and is ready to win again. NORTHUMBRIA (3) also races forward and deserved the 55 win. Needs to find more, but can get some of the cash. NEPTUNE LEGEND (8) draws inside and has a handy 3kg claim. He can improve on his first-up Maiden win. SUGGESTED PLAY: With The Brill Building.
