Verdict
Thedeboftheyear was given a good ride to land a seller here earlier this month but does have winning form at a higher level and, despite a 4lb higher mark today, is one for the short-list. But REALTA MO CROI was very impressive when beating Clouds Of Mist by 22 lengths at Ffos Las and it's no surprise that she's turned out again quickly under a penalty. Conor Shoemark takes off 5lb again and she should follow up if handling the quicker ground. Southway Queen and Lord Lescribaa will probably need this while Bedouin Bay never seems to run two races alike.
