LADY RED MOON completed a double when landing a better race than this at Newmarket and got a smack on the nose when attempting a hat-trick at Chelmsford so gets another chance. Talap has improved with each run on Turf and, if taking to the surface, would have to be a threat. Three Fans also make his all-weather debut and didn't enjoy soft going at Windsor last time but Anglo Saxson let supporters down at Brighton, though was staying on over that 7f.
