Verdict

Gary Moore doesn’t have too many runners at Nottingham so the presence of FIERCE appears significant and he sets the standard in this affair. Flying Kiss was ahead of Moonlight Dreamer when the pair met at Windsor, with Darkened Edge fifth, albeit tonight’s going will be markedly different. Star Map hasn’t been seen on the racecourse since finishing second in a Doncaster maiden in May though the winner hasn’t exactly advertised the form positively since. Tuki Tuki took her chance in a decent maiden at Newbury in April and while quirky, she has demonstrated no shortage of early pace in her armoury.
