Verdict

The modest pace probably didn't help CRESCENT MOON when upped to 19.8f at Gowran recently and, better judged on her handicap debut second at Cork in January, she is well worth another chance back down in trip here. Tremaine could be about to take a step forward now pitched into a handicap debut in this sphere and he is one to note in the betting, while Liberated Light is also shortlisted.

  1. CRESCENT MOON (FR)
  2. TREMAINE
  3. LIBERATED LIGHT (IRE)
