Pepys (5/2), Clear As A Bell (3/1), Lord Kitten (5/1), Magic Journey (11/2), Pantera Negra (6/1), Hitchcock (6/1), Zilza (7/1), Harvest Moon (8/1), Leopard (25/1), Powercell (25/1), Nightdress (40/1)

Nothing outstanding to recommend many of these and creditable form is a little thin on the ground in a race that makes little betting appeal. Both Pantera Negra and Clear As A Bell would have claims on their best form while Pepys is of some interest if his last run can be taken at face value. Zilza appears to have found her level and should make her mark in this grade but overall HARVEST MOON is the most interesting. She looks to have found something to build on now and this 7f trip looks an ideal one for her to get off the mark for her powerful yard.
