Moonshine Ridge showed up to better effect when allowed to make the running over 1m3f here last time. He could go well over this shorter trip while Red Chatterbox moves in the opposite direction having finished fourth over 6f here a fortnight ago. But John Gosden boasts an outstanding strike at this venue so a chance is taken the Coolmore-owned HERMITAGE BAY handles the Fibresand and gets the nod on the back of a debut third at Kempton. Playful Dude is another likely improver and Flymetothestars is a newcomer to note.
