Kaluana Court can make the most of the weight that she gets from Moonshine Beach, with The Nawab and Bienheureux the other main contenders. Kaluana Court has put in a couple of good efforts this term, finishing second at Nottingham and Doncaster, and it has to be said that she did not get the best of runs when going down narrowly to Considine on Town Moor eight days ago.The third was 17 lengths away though, and with Colin Haddon taking off a handy five-pounds, she must have a great chance of beating Moonshine Beach. The latter is now partnered by the apprentice who rode Kaluana Court last time, so the topweight will at least have his burden reduced by seven-pounds, but it is still asking a lot to give such weight away on his return to the scene of his latest victory. The Nawab has shaped like an out-and-out stayer so far and he has to mix it with older opponents, while Bienheureux in contrast has yet to win over this sort of journey, and so with plenty going for her, Kaluana Court is the selection.
