There are plenty of unexposed types in this so a market check is advised. The once-raced Zoella is definitely capable of better but the handicapper has taken no chances. Luna Moon is two from two having followed up her maiden win at Newmarket in August with victory on the Polytrack. She has to be respected along with recent Leicester scorer Postbag. Richard Hannon has two in this but Richard Hughes has snubbed both to partner ROYAL SILK for Roger Charlton. She only competed over 6f last year but should stay 1m this season judged by the way she was finishing when scoring at Kempton in November and a mark of 77 looks fair. Volunteer Point and Tongue Twista are both eased in grade but look exposed.
