The William Haggas-trained Depraux has shown enough in two starts over inadequate trips to suggest that a race of this nature would be well within his compass and he gets the vote to open his account at the main expense of Moves Goodenough and Chasing A Dream. The last mentioned has claims on the pick of his form but disappointed here last time in similar grade and may now be best watched. Jenny Soba has shown ability but needs to improve to trouble the judge, while Royle Dancer is similarly proving to be hard to win with. Moves Goodenough seemed to stay this sort of trip well enough at Bath last time and has to be of interest but Depraux has an obvious chance over a trip that should bring about improvement and he gets the vote.
