Moone's My Name narrowly beat BAKOURA over 7f here in July but is now a couple of pounds worse off and the positions were reversed over this extra furlong at Sandown last month. John Dunlop's filly hasn't had a lot of luck lately and is probably still on a decent mark. This is Little Curtsey's first try over a mile but Iron Step has already won twice over the trip. Quadrant is probably a shade high in the weights at present while maiden Russian Affair hasn't shown enough to suggest she can open her account upped in grade.
