Moi Aussi hails from a top yard and is expected to land this decent handicap, Mr Floodlight and and Colmar Supreme look to be the main rivals. Sir Mark Prescott always has to be respected on the all-weather and Moi Aussi has already earned her corn with an emphatic victory at Southwell last week. The fact that she comes out again so quickly suggests that she is still in great heart and another success could be on the cards. Mr Floodlight is certainly improving with racing and doesn't look harshly treated for his handicap debut, he should be in the shake up. Stable companion Colmar Supreme was third in a decent looking claimer last time and also looks set to play a major role. Sigismundus is very lightly raced and could be anything, but Moi Aussi has the proven ability and gets a confident vote.
