Moors Myth, Golden Asha, Tiber Tiger and Kindlelight Debut are the four to concentrate on in this competitive handicap and the vote is given to the last mentioned. The selection has been running well since joining her current yard and she put up a creditable effort behind Dudley Docker last time at Newmarket. That was over 1m but she is also effective at this trip and she looks the value call. Tiber Tiger would have claims on the pick of his form but he has given the impression of late that the handicapper might have his measure and his stablemate is preferred on this occasion. Moors Myth will be interesting if he gets an easy lead and he is certainly a game sort. However, he is another who might just need some respite from the handicapper before he is able to get his head in front. Golden Asha was a little unlucky behind Katheer at Ripon last time and if she gets home at her first try over this trip, and the indications are she will, then she could give our selection plenty to think about. However, we are happy to stick with Kindlelight Debut who looks the one to beat.
