In depth
Verdict
The feature race on the Polytrack today can go to Moayed, with Buy On The Red, Polish Emperor and Chateau Nicol three decent opponents. Moayed will have plenty of supporters here and rightly so as he lines up unbeaten in three starts over six furlongs to date and has plenty going for him. Nick Littmoden's charge will be far happier here than when tried over five furlongs on the Fibresand 11 days ago and should be well up to giving weight away all round. Buy On The Red was just touched off by Chateau Nicol over the course and distance last time and there will not be much between the pair again. They should both go close, while Polish Emperor chases a hat-trick but will have to improve on his Wolverhampton exploits to turn the selection over. However, he has an in-form pilot on board and should not be left out of calculations. Middleton Grey is held on form as well, and the interesting contender is Media Hora. A prolific winner in South America, he could be anything, but with proven form here already, Moayed can give owner Nigel Shields more success on the all-weather.
