Heather Moor, Caressed and Takenawa are the three to consider here, and Heather Moor is taken to continue Sir Michael Stoute's excellent run. James Fanshawe's Caressed showed ability first time out to chase home Princess Nada at Nottingham. She is a useful individual so that was a very encouraging effort and she has a live chance here. Howard Johnson's Takenawa belied a starting price of 100-1 when finishing third to another Stoute hotpot at Ripon but a place may be the best he can hope for here. Heather Moor may have more scope than her rivals though. She has more experience than some, having chased home Bouboulina at Lingfield on her debut before finishing just behind Caressed in that Nottingham contest. She perhaps went a little too soon on that occasion, and ridden with greater patience here can reverse form with Caressed. Heather Moor can land the spoils.
