Verdict
The in the amount of cut in the ground may be more than most of the respective connections would have hoped for as their inexperienced charges take to the track today. But as Bright Moll has already performed with plenty of credit on soft ground, she is selected to follow up her Folkestone debut success here. Neither Celtic Spa or Tartatartufata have shown much to date, so the biggest danger could come from Brian McMahon's newcomer Castelletto, who is related to a fair few winners and hails from a yard that can get one ready first time out as a juvenile. The market will obviously highlight or dismiss her chance and a watching brief is advised before taking the plunge with her. However, in the absence of a betting guide it is impossible to avoid Bright Moll and she is expected to maintain her unbeaten status today.
