Twilighting won over 6f at Kempton last time having earlier finished runner-up to Katherine Place at the same venue. The latter has subsequently gone close again with Edged Out behind while Moneta won a lowly Class 7f contest at Southwell last week and carries 6lb extra. Harry's Ridge makes his handicap debut on his first outing since June but OH SO NICE has a recent second over track and trip under her belt and Tony Carroll’s filly may prove the one to side with in this with improvement expected now handicapping for the first time.
