Patience has finally run out with Derivatives after she disappointed yet again over 6f here last time. She's trying the minimum trip for the first time today but has MOROCCO MOON to beat. The latter was unfancied for her debut over C&D a fortnight ago but showed plenty of promise to finish third with Shake Baby Shake well behind and Tim Pitt's filly gets the nod. The two older horses make no appeal, but it's worth keeping an eye on the newcomer Caboodle as she has plenty of speed in her pedigree.
