    Verdict

    Just 3lb separates the four runners on official ratings. Midas Moment looked a filly likely to do well at three when scoring last November in a Wolverhampton maiden having travelled well before staying on bravely. She could progress again here but is reluctantly passed over in favour of MOONLIGHT RHAPSODY, who may well enjoy a fitness edge after finishing a close third in a small-field Beverley handicap. That was over a mile and a half and Barry Hills' filly but will appreciate the return to ten furlongs, having scored easily over that trip when obliging at Lingfield. Lady Rosamunde can't be discounted but seems a little one-paced and Red Zeus only scraped home in selling company last time.
