      Verdict

      Tidal Moon just has the call on official ratings after two fine early performances but she didn't impress at Newbury last time and may have to settle for a place. Arabian Illusion looked a certain future winner when staying on strongly behind Memorial Day over a mile at Haydock and may not have been suited to the surface when only third at Kempton. MILL POINT also made her debut on that latter track and didn't find the mile or the surface to her liking. She had a couple of much better fancied rivals in front of her at the finish but stayed on nicely once getting the hang of the job and this longer trip is just what she requires so she looks the one to be on. Put The Boot In hasn't shown much in Ireland but Dancing Aces wasn't unduly punished at Kempton last week and is one to keep an eye on in handicaps.
