Mutoon is the selected of Blockley and Born West in a difficult race for punters. Mutoon has largely raced on the all-weather but there appeared to be some quiet confidence behind her at Warwick and off this low handicap mark, she could be worth another chance to shine. Blockley appeared to handle good going at Catterick and the visor sticks on. Born West is tried on turf for the first time and is watched in the ring. Homes By Woodford is plenty exposed and still searches for a first win on turf. Cavallo Di Ferro is lower rated on turf than the all-weather and the formbook explains why. New Light is on a handicap debut and is respected from in-form stables. Fizzy Bella gave a fair account of herself in a claimer and this race is realistically no better than that. Persian Fox makes a belated reappearance. Mutoon could be anything and is the token pick in a wide open affair.
