Verdict

Fray was something of a disappointment at Ayr recently and is partnered by a 7lb claimer today. But FIDELMA MOON has been thereabouts since winning at Beverley earlier this year and Karl Burke’s filly looks to have every chance of getting back on track after a recent third at Sandown. Both Barwah and Dominannie look in the handicapper’s grip on recent form but Flinty Fell may improve now handicapping for the first time, though she hasn’t raced since April.
