Verdict

Right Stuff is preferred to Granary Girl with Lemon Silk of obvious interest on his Flat debut for the Pipe yard. The selection was having just his second start for Gary Moore when running on well to narrowly get the better of the in-form Celticello at Windsor and may have more in the locker. The pair finished a long way clear of the third and a penalty may not be enough to anchor him. Granary Girl has risen by a further 7lbs for her comfortable success at Newmarket and is progressing well but she has yet to race on ground with the word 'soft' in the official going description. Lemon Silk disappointed over hurdles when last in action but cannot be ruled out here; the market may be revealing. Shenandoah Girl may find this too competitive but Irish Whispers could go well at a big price as he reverts to a more suitable trip. That's all fairly speculative though and we won't be looking beyond Right Stuff.
