Verdict
Red Cossack finished a couple of lengths behind Ninety Minutes last time so a good run from the latter in the previous race would boost confidence in Paul Webber's charge. Moonspring went close over track and trip on her latest start but this looks tougher and SOFTLY SHE TREADS is preferred. The latter won't need to improve much on her debut fourth at Goodwood to get involved given the likes of Bonjour Steve and Christmas Wish have gone backwards. Beakers N Num Nums could prove best of the newcomers.
