Perfect Muse only found one too good on debut at Lingfield but that was back in January and she hasn't been seen since. It's Taboo will be having her 11th start and, though she's gone close on a few occasions, lacks the scope of a few of these. Moortahan was made favourite for his debut at Kempton in March and ran well but only beat one home at Lingfield subsequently and is another returning from a break. PARADISE WATCH was no match for Gold Hunter at Doncaster last month but the third and sixth have both won since and he wasn't beaten far behind the 76-rated Evidence at Lingfield earlier. This looks a good chance to get off the mark.
