      Verdict

      Frankie Dettori is an interesting booking on GREEN MOON for Harry Dunlop. The well bred son of Montjeu raced twice as a juvenile in what turned out to be quite decent maidens. He gave the impression he would make a better three-year-old and today's opposition don't look any world beaters. If he runs up to his already decent maiden form he should be up to taking this if Dunlop has him fit. The one to chase him home may be the Queens horse Playground. This horse has quite a decent pedigree but has since been gelded. He was obviously very hard to train and now that his temperament has been curbed, he may have more to offer. Henry Cecil's Langen Voraus should also be monitored.
