A very typical example of a watch the market race is ever there was one and LOANA SHELL gets our vote without reference to it, with The Bishops Baby and Aconitum as the alternatives. Gary Moore's charge was evidently well fancied on debut before making a very public no show on the racecourse. In receipt of plenty of allowances this afternoon, she may be able to offer a little more on the markedly different going. The Bishops Baby belied odds of 25/1 to finish fourth in a similar event at the course. Aconitum is worthy of respect after a pleasing introduction at Lingfield. Genie's Lamp is from a yard that is not averse to landing bumpers so the market needs to be watched. Minti Verdi is nicely bred and could be anything. Artist's Moon took part in a Doncaster bumper that is beginning to work out well but it would be surprising were she to be among the better sorts in the Nicky Henderson stable. Divine Intavention could be capable of building upon his Kempton debut. Loana Shell secures a nomination in a race for watching rather than punting.
