A desperate affair in which Moyoko rates as only the most tentative of selections against Hilltop Fantasy and Rowan Warning. Moyoko is still a maiden after 11 starts so confidence cannot be too high, but she gives the impression of appreciating this sort of trip and we take the hint in a 0-52 race. Hilltop Fantasy is from a shrewd yard and is of obvious interest in the event of any market support. She didn't get home over this trip at Southwell so it is a surprise that the experiment is repeated. Rowan Warning has dropped from the mid 60's into his current predicament and is on something of a losing run. Today's race follows a couple of months absence. Almowj shaped as a future winner during the summer at Wolverhampton but has failed to build on the foundations of that effort. Lady Korrianda had bits and pieces of form with Mark Wallace and is watched after a long absence. Renegade has been upped in trip after a number of failures over shorter. Moyoko is the call to the most minimal of stakes.
