Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 72

15/8

Sea The Moon filly who build on debut promise when landing 7f novice at Kempton 11 months ago. Off since but steps up in trip for her handicap debut and remains with potential. The market should prove revealing.

Forecasts

Selenic (15/8), Little Miss India (4/1), Romantic Spirit (9/2), Live Each Day (5/1), Caramay (5/1), Thankyou Baroness (16/1), Lilly Lux (22/1), Alpine Oasis (28/1)

None of these can be ruled out but CARAMAY rates the pick of the weights on the back of a good recent Wolverhampton third and is taken to follow up her success in this event a year ago. Course scorer Live Each Day rates a big threat though, while the returning Selenic can also play a big part if fully tuned up after an 11-month absence. C&D winner Romantic Spirit completes the shortlist.
