Form & Verdict
Well held in sole run (1m, AW) for Ralph Beckett and same story in two starts for new yard this summer but she did shape with some promise at Doncaster (6f, good) on her penultimate run; this is more realistic on handicap debut and she needs watching in market; hood back on.

25-1 and well beaten at Epsom on her handicap debut two weeks ago (7f, good); not easily recommended on that evidence but she is bred to do better at some point.

She isn't living up to her pedigree just yet but she makes her handicap debut at a modest level and the step up in trip and return of a hood could both prove beneficial; betting useful.

Form & Verdict
Narrow winner over this far at Salisbury (good to firm) and it was on the AW when the runner-up decisively reversed those placings at Kempton; 5lb higher than for that recent win but she's unexposed on turf and is a likely contender back in this sphere.

She's fully 8lb lower than when winning at Epsom (7f, good) last August but for good reason, having been unable to get competitive this year; the first-time blinkers need to prompt a major revival.

Form & Verdict
Eight-race maiden but he's finished second in three of his five handicaps and was a fair third behind an improver at Leicester (1m, good) last time; still looks feasibly treated on his close call at Chepstow in June and he has shaped as though this drop back in trip could suit; interesting contender.

Close second in a 7f handicap at Kempton (AW) in May but his form has slumped in two runs since; still unexposed on turf and now drops back in trip but he's an inconsistent 12-race maiden and others are more convincing.

Operating below a winning level kept mostly to 7f-1m this year; record of 033 granted 6f on turf (one place over C&D), never failing to record an RPR of at least 51, so this first assignment granted such a trip/surface combination since spring 2023 may be worth a go; blinkers added.

Verdict

Moondial is unexposed on turf and hit a personal best with her brave win at Salisbury on her penultimate run. She’s respected back in this sphere but slight preference is for HARRY THE HAGGLER, who is only 1lb higher than for his close call at Chepstow in June and looks interesting on this drop back in trip. Another to keep an eye on is Queens Resolve, who showed some promise on the second of her three runs and is possible improver on this handicap debut.[David Moon]
