Nadeszhda is interesting on her return for Sir Mark Prescott but the vote goes to Fleeting Moon, who is taken to reverse Bath form with Anyhow. There was just a short head between the two last time but Andrew Balding's filly is 5lbs better in today and had looked a progressive performer on the Polytrack previously. Nadeszhda remains unexposed but it is difficult to know how well the stable's horses are having had very few runners of late. Regal Gallery has been given a break and will need to be absolutely spot on for this as the daughter of Royal Academy looks to have plenty to do off her current mark. Similar comments apply to Dispol Evita, while Royale Pearl looks to be out of her depth in this grade. Illeana lacks experience of the surface; a comment that cannot be levelled at Fleeting Moon who gets the vote.
