Verdict
Arabian Moon is the most exposed of these and blew what looked a decent chance at Beverley last month with a slow start. He is probably worth taking on again in first-time blinkers with several powerful yards represented. There will be plenty of interest in the once-raced A La Voile but she may need further. Both of Giuseppe Cassioli’s placed efforts have come on Polytrack but Daheer has had wind surgery since a modest debut at Chelmsford. TAWTHEEF wears his owner’s first colours, however, and there is a lot to like about his pedigree given he is a half-brother to three winners and should be suited by a mile.
