MOONRAKER'S CHOICE wouldn't need to be out of the ordinary to take this at the first time of asking; dangers include stablemate Giulietta Da Vinci and Go Forth North. Richard Hannon's run of juvenile winners has shown no signs of abating and Moonraker's Choice - who is by Choisir but has stamina on the dam's side - appears to be the stable's first string. Elizabelle is by the smart stayer Westerner so can reasonably be expected to need more time although Giulietta Da Vinci shaped encouragingly at Newbury in a race that could throw up winners. Shibhan and Bathwick Xaara were in front of her that day but may not be open to as much improvement; the former is tried in cheekpieces and the latter could benefit from easier ground. Open Glory's debut didn't live up to market expectations but she raced keenly and could be worth another chance whilst Go Forth North is entitled to improve for her run at Lingfield. Sounds Of Thunder and Gobama are other newcomers worthy of a cursory glance but we're happy to stick with Moonraker's Choice.
