In depth
Verdict
LADY MOSCOU could only muster the one-pace over the stiff 7f at Sandown in Listed company. But she'd won at Nottingham before that and looks to have the measure of these. Marsh Pride made a good start with a cosy win at Ripon and makes more appeal than Willow Creek and Fidelma Moon on that form. She should go close but Laura B looks up against it on her modest efforts to date.
