In depth
Verdict
It is no surprise to see Exhibitor turn out under a penalty, after she demolished a moderate field at Yarmouth last week. She has plenty of improvement in her and is taken to prove too good for her rivals. Ashantiana has ability, but she is far from straightforward and a bigger threat could prove to be Oriental Moon. The latter, who was beaten by Dadeland at Newcastle, received a boost when the winner followed up at Ayr, but although she has run several good races in defeat, it is somewhat of a worry that she has yet to get her head in front.
