Verdict
LADY MOSCOU is unlucky not to have already won having suffered a couple of narrow-margin defeats. The latest came at Pontefract and she can go one better with a similar effort in this. Outback Ruler showed some improvement at Windsor and is preferred to River Of Dreams while Scarlet Bounty may also get involved after a debut third over track and trip. Al Bandar and Grand Spirit are newcomers to note.
