Verdict
Both Moment Of Clarity and King Of Connacht finished behind EMPRESS LEIZU here earlier this month. The latter was headed in the closing stages and finished fourth on that occasion, but Tony Carroll's filly looks sure to be winning soon off her current mark. Holyfield Warrior didn't stay the longer trip last time but usually finds at least one too good anyway, while On The Cusp's only victory so far came on the Fibresand where he beat Lilli Palmer who has since run well at Kempton.
