Verdict

A good run from Hatta Stream in the opener would boost the chances of MORETTA BLANCHE as she had the former behind when scoring in soft ground at Ascot last month. She's since gone very close again over a shorter trip at this track and the dual 7f winner can go one better racing off the same mark today. Haydock runner-up Standing Strong looks a threat on his handicap bow if handling the going and Great Expectations can also figure on the back of a second at Newmarket. Corporal Maddox is not without a chance but Konstantin is an unknown on the ground and Starwatch looks held off his current mark.
