Brighton winner Curious Fox ran well again at Wolverhampton recently but Lady Mcguffy came up short once again and is now 6lb higher than when runner-up here in June. Deer Song has been getting closer but is still looking for his first win in 20 attempts and the less exposed OASIS MOON is preferred. The latter opened her account with victory at Brighton a fortnight ago and a 5lb rise may not be enough to anchor the Haggas filly on only her third start handicapping. Manipura slips further down the weights and may prove best of the remainder.
