Cabal was narrowly beaten in a claimer here last time but this looks no tougher and she can figure. First Moon makes her handicap debut after a modest effort at Kempton while Khamaary won on her racecourse debut over 6f here in October. Tigserin also steps back up in distance but has been well beaten in previous attempts over further and STAR OF BRISTOL is preferred. She was placed over today’s trip at Wolverhampton when handicapping for the first time and further progress is expected in this.
