Blue Moonrise goes in search of a quickfire hat-trick after showing excellent resolution in the past week to land a couple of handicaps. She's clearly in great heart but now is burdened with a 12lb penalty and GLAMOROUS BREEZE (NAP) is preferred. The selection got the better of the former here in July and yet is far better off at the weights today. She goes well for William Cox, is best at this trip and ran a good second at Bath recently. Kath's Toyboy gained a first career success in a small maiden handicap at Brighton this month and is going the right way and Bluebird Day is worth a second look on her handicap bow and dropping to the minimum trip for the first time.
