Verdict
Amnesty gets the vote here ahead of Morvern and Fleeting Moon. Amnesty has never raced on all-weather surfaces but, if translating the form of some reasonable maiden and handicap runs in 2003 to this surface, has to be high on the shortlist of possible winners of this contest. Morvern improved to finish second at Nottingham last time in a first-time visor, but has run poorly twice here in the past and the bare form of that Nottingham run is not great anyway. Fleeting Moon actually showed more promise than it seemed on her debut here last April and she will be more at home at this trip, so should improve again. The others seem to have a bit to prove on the basis of what they have so far achieved. Watch the market for clues but, failing that, our vote goes to Amnesty.
