Signs of ability in five starts on turf but well held in handicaps the last twice. Drops in grade today and is worth a check in the market on her AW debut.

Winning for the first time when successful on heavy ground over 1m at Ayr last week. Races off a 3lb higher mark today and interesting if as effective on this AW surface.

Placed twice in handicap company here last winter including when 7L second over this trip in February. Best effort since came when fourth at Chelmsford last time out and he is an interesting runner today.

Maiden after nine starts though ran well when 3L third over 1m at Pontefract (soft) on her penultimate outing. Disappointed since and fitted with a hood for her debut at this track.

Maiden after ten starts and step up to an extended 1m2f didn't seem to help when sixth of eight at Chester (heavy) last time out. Likely to struggle today.

Well beaten in three maiden races on turf and a similar result in two handicap starts including on the AW at Newcastle last time out. More needed if she's to break her maiden today.

No show in five starts so far most recently on handicap debut at Kempton over 6f last time out. Hopes rest with switch to fibresand and step up in trip bringing about improvement. Races from 1lb out of the handicap.

Verdict

MEDICI MOON can register a first victory by taking this competitive looking 1m handicap. The selection was placed twice here earlier this year and can see off Quiet Moment who was a winner on turf recently. Of the remainder top weight Queen Moon has been running well enough in better races on turf to suggest she can claim third if handling this surface.
