Verdict

MOONLIT SANDS has put together a consistent sequence this term and her reliability should count for plenty in a modest contest. She has actually been dropped a couple of pounds from her last two starts, prior to which she was only denied in a desperate finish at Beverley. Unlike many of her rivals, she is proven on ground with cut and Ben Robinson's claim strengthens credentials further. Q Twenty Boy is a danger as he's only had half a dozen starts so could well progress and his overall profile puts him in here with an obvious chance. He's yet to encounter ground with soft in the description but is much respected all the same. Brandy Station could go well under Elisha Whittington and Give Em A Clump is next best.
