IMAGE OF THE MOON has only her second outing on Turf on the back of placed efforts on the all-weather. She can race off the same mark as when third at Wolverhampton last time and may prove good enough in a tricky contest. Black Medick has been posting better efforts on artificial surfaces recently and is back on a winning mark while Max Guevara finished nearer last on his reappearance but was narrowly beaten at Windsor at the end of last year. Corrida De Toros, Cool Possibility, Bruyere and Strict have yet to threaten but all make their handicap debuts today and it would be no surprise to see some improvement.
