It took recent Southwell winner Sculptured 17 attempts to finally get her head in front but LUNA MOON scored at the first time of asking when successful at Newmarket in August. This longer trip should suit and Ryan Moore keeps the partnership intact. Engaging Smile and Dat Il Do are other all-weather maiden winners and are less exposed than Plaisir. The latter ran well when second at Wolverhampton last time but this looks tougher.
