    Verdict

    Moshe made all and won easily over 1m4f at Leicester on Monday. He could expose possible stamina limitations in a few of these including Ancient Greece, Inspector Norse and Swordbearer. But The Queen's Micras won over this trip at Bath last time and has been placed over 1m4f while David Elsworth's pair, Highland Castle and Flemish School, stay even further. Frankie rides Compton Bird but she would have preferred faster going. GLASGOW CENTRAL's run here in July is easily ignored as he doesn't handle soft ground. He was third in a maiden at Chester in the spring that's produced plenty of winners and a repeat of that form would make him interesting in this off a low weight.
