Promising third on debut at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) and built on that when runner-up there (5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; takes on some interesting rivals but sets a strong standard for the rest to aim at.

J: Darragh Keenan

Losing run goes back 14 races to May 2025 but he was a good fourth over C&D (heavy) last month and wasn't seen to best effect at Chester (6f, heavy) subsequently; not written off now back here.

J: William Pyle

T: Jennie Candlish

A four-time 5f scorer for Iain Jardine; yet to add to that for his current handler but much better signs after five months off with fourth of 11 in 5f Haydock handicap (heavy) 15 days ago; goes well on soft ground and a likely player.

Moonstone Boy

9st 3lb

J: Darragh Keenan

T: Jennie Candlish

He has no problem with soft ground but hasn't scored since last May and there were diminishing returns in four starts for this yard earlier in the year; career-low mark, however, and maybe a 147-day break will have chalked his cue; watch the market.

Form & Verdict
150,000gns yearling; third foal; half-brother to connections' three-time 6f Group 1 winner Perfect Power (two of them in 2yo season); could play a leading role on debut, especially if strong in the betting.

J: Warren Fentiman

Creditable fourth over C&D in this year's Victoria Cup but his subsequent form, comprising mostly duck eggs, reads poorly by comparison; major resurgence is required.

Couldn't set your watch by him but he's a smart performer on his good days, as when beating 21 rivals at Doncaster (6f, heavy) last November; finished fourth in the Victoria Cup here (7f, good) in May, and he is 5lb lower today, but there hasn't been much to cheer since then.

Inconsistent but he is a smart performer, as when beating his 21 rivals at Doncaster last November (6f, heavy); raced exclusively at 7f since, with mixed results, but this mark isn't beyond him and a big run could be on the cards back down in distance.

J: Dylan Hogan

T: Michael Herrington

Capitalised on a career-low mark when back on slow ground at Leicester (6f, good to soft) on Tuesday; his three previous wins had come on soft ground; he's back down to 5f today but had just over 3l to spare in that big field at Leicester last time and a 5lb penalty may well not be enough to stop him.

5f-6f winner, all on soft ground; it's two years since his last win but the handicapper is giving him a chance and he's not written off now the ground is a little slower.

J: Charlie Tucker

His last win was almost two years ago but he's on a reduced mark and was beaten less than 2l when third at Kempton (6f, AW) two weeks ago; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he gets the breaks.

Form & Verdict
Has a useful pedigree and she was a promising third of six at 8-1 on her debut at Ripon (5f, soft); the winner landed the Lily Agnes this week and this filly is open to improvement on her second start; possible player.

Eight-race maiden who has proven consistent rather than progressive; didn't see out 7f quite so well as reopposing stablemate Tropical Air at Wolverhampton 18 days ago; more minor money perhaps her best hope.
