In depth
Verdict
Irish raider Moonlone Lane isn't out of this on last year's form. Travis County got to within two lengths of the prolific Ever So Much on her chasing bow here at the start of the month and should have benefited from the experience. But MUWALLA has been gradually getting closer and is fancied to go one better than when runner-up to Toledo Gold here last month. Turf Trivia reappears after a break and Mac's Grey needs to improve on what he's shown to date and is 4lb wrong in the weights.
