Marco Botti's progressive filly LADY RED MOON seeks the hat-trick following 7f wins here and at Newmarket. Although facing a sterner test from her revised mark, there's every likelihood that she'll prove capable of meeting the task with the strong suspicion being that this extra yardage will assist rather than hinder. There are potential dangers with the Richard Hannon-trained duo More Than A Prince and Locked N' Loaded catching the eye now sent handicapping, while the well-related Sir Michael Stoute-trained runner Oslo could also show improvement for the combination of a gelding operation and the fitting of a visor.
