Morristown Music is taken to get the better of Feelin Foxy and Bollin Franny in a tricky handicap. Feelin Foxy has only a Kempton all-weather success to his credit, and his recent effort at Redcar was typical, running with credit, but lacking a turn of foot. That may well hinder him again here. Bollin Franny represents the in form Tim Easterby camp, and although his only success to date came on fast ground, he will have improved for his seasonal debut in a decent Haydock contest. Morristown Music was a disappointing favourite at Thirsk on her re-appearance, but her form last season included a close second on an easy surface. She appears less exposed than her rivals, and a chance is taken that she can improve on this ground. Morristown Music can make her opponents dance to her tune.
