Charlottebutterfly gets a narrow vote over Moyoko, with Kings Art put up as a likely danger. The selection lines up in good form on the all-weather, having beaten Sion Hill at Lingfield the time before last, and then failing to give 6lb away to the same rival at Wolverhampton. Phil McBride's mare seems revitalised since teaming up with Ian Mongan, and more success is on the cards here. Moyoko made the most of a low handicap mark to score at Wolverhampton last time, and appears to be the main danger now that she has found her form again, while of the remainder, Kings Art makes a bit of each-way appeal, having just been touched off on Turf at Musselburgh last time, although that was in selling company. The rest of this line-up are basically out of form at present, and so we return to Charlottebutterfly as the answer.
