Lilac Moon, Terry Molloy and Denton Hawk appear the trio to concentrate on and we like Lilac Moon. Anne Duffield's record at lesser levels has been a fair one in recent weeks and Royston Ffrench looks to be riding well. The selection finished fourth in a recent handicap at the track and if reproducing that level of form, she has to be a big player. Terry Molloy was racing off marks in the mid-70's in the earlier part of the year. Karl Burke's representatives in this grade are always to be feared so the market is likely to offer most clues. Denton Hawk is a long standing maiden. Cheekpieces replace experiments with other headgear. Myfrenchconnection was not disgraced in a recent Thirsk event whilst Grethel drops to this level for the first time. Not a race with too much depth and Lilac Moon looks one of the more obvious winners.
