Toro Dorado placed on the Turf at Lingfield but has to race off a 10lb higher mark back on the all-weather and The Throstles is another rated higher on artificial surfaces having placed at Doncaster. Melburnian left his previous form behind when scoring at Chelmsford and has an 11lb hike to contend with while though Bavardages beat Locked N' Loaded over track and trip last month, both have been well beaten since. LOVER’S MOON was runner-up in a maiden at Kempton last time but this extra distance will suit on her handicap debut and Hugo Palmer’s yard is in fine form.
