Mariners Moon carries a penalty for last week's win over 7f here on fast ground. Barleycorn Lady won her maiden at Newcastle on a soft surface last month but the form hasn't worked out. EMERAHLDZ ended last season with a double and ran well enough stepped up to 1m2f at Nottingham on her reappearance. The Fahey filly looks up to scoring off her current mark on that evidence and gets the vote. Emaad has a bit more to prove after finishing seventh over track and trip on his comeback but the handicap debutant Stanarley Pic may well get involved stepping up in distance.
