In depth

Verdict

Voodoo Moon has solid claims on form and receives plenty of weight from most of her rivals but Mark Johnston's filly is bred to want a softer surface than this and she may not be able to reproduce the form of her debut run on ground this fast so preference is for Riverside Dancer, who gets the vote ahead of Flower Of Cork. The last mentioned is an early foal and the yard of Tim Easterby has already had one first time out two-year-old winner so the daughter of Noverre has to be respected on ground that should suit. The David Nicholls-trained Fly So Free showed promise on her Thirsk debut and has to be respected but she probably needs to improve, while Hucking Hope may want a softer surface being out of a Common Grounds mare. The vote then goes to Riverside Dancer, who faces no easy task giving weight away all round but she was not beaten far on her Kempton debut and today's ground should suit ideally on her turf debut.
