    Verdict

    The drop in distance is a worry for supporters of FOXY ACT but she bettered her winning form at Exeter when second over 2m5f here last month and Page Fuller takes off a valuable 7lb. Moontripper’s second here earlier in the month was her best run to date under Rules but soft going could be the key to Phil Dando’s mare, though she easily holds Milan Hart on the form book.
