Verdict
Three of these won last time but Catchthemoonlight is now on a career-high mark after victory at Carlisle. This Thyne Jude lacks a recent run but OUR VALENTINA justified market support at Navan at the start of the month and may well follow up here under Brian Hughes. She’s preferred to stablemate Indy Island but it would be no surprise to see the consistent Vic's Last Stand in the firing-line again and Miss Maiden Over could also figure if fully wound-up. Gold Chain was fourth in the race last year and won later at the meeting but is still 11lb higher.
