In depth
Verdict
Moulin Rouge never looked like being caught when making all in a seller at Stratford last Thursday. This isn't much better but she will have to defy a penalty. Barton Rose hasn't won since January of last year and has also been contesting sellers this year. Katie's Hen had Alottarain behind when scoring at Stratford in June but has failed to replicate that form since and Romann Angel has got nowhere near so far. MIDNIGHT GYPSY was far too keen last time at Huntingdon when sent off favourite. If Nico de Boinville can get her to settle today, she may be good enough to take advantage of a very lowly mark.
