Verdict

LUNA MOON made a winning start at Newmarket and looks worth sticking with on her handicap debut. Rocking The Boat, Spring Loaded and Brown Velvet are all maiden winners that found life tough in handicaps last time but Gold Waltz won at Lingfield and can figure again. State Of The Union, Shahralasal and Red Tycoon all disappointed on their latest outings but had shown some promise before that while Madamoiselle Bond drops down a grade and should finish closer.
