In depth
Verdict
MOSCOW TREAT has shown potential in the past without quite getting there but her close second to the in-form Landsdowne on her reappearance at Cork suggests she's ready to lose her maiden tag and this looks her day. Diamond Daze is generally in the mix but was beaten when odds-on at Dundalk last month and makes her handicap debut. Balladiene looks a threat as she was placed several times on ground with some give last summer and will be better for her recent run at the Curragh. Luan Cincise hasn't quite been lasting out over a mile so this trip should be ideal and Measured Approval is on the short-list despite his defeat when fancied at Dundalk last time.
