City Escape has done most of her winning on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton and Kraken Filly is only 1-25 and has only raced on going this soft once before. The going is also an unknown for Hitched but he has won two of his last three. NIGHT MOON is proven over the trip having led for a long way over 1m3f on yielding ground at Killarney last month. He may be able to hang on this time.
