      Verdict

      Coral Moon earned her rating when scrambling home on her debut over 6f here and didn't appear to enjoy front-running at Lingfield subsequently. Better Self has also scored over 7f here but her only attempt at today's trip resulted in a poor effort. Ad Vitam has been beaten in sellers and Sir Lunchalott has been fading over 7f so his chances of getting home here look remote. SHEILA'S STAR twice finished strongly to score over the C&D in November and though disappointing last time she is guaranteed to stay and gets the nod.
