There are a number of lightly-raced potential improvers here so this is no easy task for LOST IN THE MOMENT, but the visual impression he's created in winning his last two starts earns him the vote. Ryan Moore's mount did well to quicken off a slow tempo at Windsor having previously landed a gamble at Newbury from a subsequent winner who went on to run well at York's Ebor meeting. He's got more on his plate up a further 9lbs but the step up in trip should suit and he's taken to beat Titbit, who broke her maiden tag at Wolverhampton before exploiting a lenient mark at Newmarket. She too is up 9lbs but there's surely more to come, as there may be from Lunar Victory now he's off the mark. Muwakaba is well handicapped on her maiden form but hasn't yet managed to confirm that while Autumn Riches may be found out by his penalty now stepping up in class. He may take on Sarrsar for the lead which may help to set this race up for Lost In The Moment.
