MOONSHINE RIDGE missed an engagement at Musselburgh on Sunday, presumably in order to come here instead. She should prove hard to beat if able to maintain her recent hot streak of form. Solarmaite has done all her winning on the Fibresand and was placed over 1m3f here recently. She is preferred to Favorite Girl, a winner here back in 2012 and returning to the Flat after a couple of spins over hurdles. Sant'elia makes her handicap debut but is probably best watched given last year’s modest efforts.
