GIVE ME A MOMENT has run 2 solid races since joining the Richard Bandey stable and is taken to get his head back in front. Martin Keighley has a good record with the runners he sends up here and Pay The Woman could easily leave the form of her chase debut behind. Mill Race King should also have a say if ready to roll after a break.
