      In depth

      Verdict

      A runner-up in all three starts so far, THE VERY MOON went close again on the Turf course here last time. Sir Michael Stoute’s filly can put an end to that frustrating sequence and get her head in front in this. She just has the edge over Ambling on these terms though the latter was beaten only a neck in a handicap here last time and should figure again. Midnights' Gift may well improve past the selection’s stablemate Honfleur after placing at Nottingham on her debut and is also preferred to Parisian Affair, who has placed in a bumper but debuts under this code.
