Verdict

The talented but unreliable Dangerous Moonlite returns to action off a decent mark if she is in the mood but Dark Side Dream and Rio Ronaldo have something to find in this grade. Apache Storm has been raised a further 3lb for finishing second at Chelmsford and is now 11lb higher than January's win at Southwell while Mignolino ran well at a big price in a conditions race at Wolverhampton last week and is closely matched with BLUE AEGEAN on collateral form. The latter will need to step up on a third here in January but her yard is firing-in the winners and the Godolphin filly gets the vote.
