Racing Post verdict
Third-partyI Am The Moon tops our ratings and the distance and ground are suited to her, though she has yet to adapt convincingly to fences and a significant improvement is needed from her last run. Pike Road ran well here last time and remains a strong threat, while Axel Bleue is progressing over fences and could prove well treated on his chase mark; Quick Sharpener is also respected after landing a race on this ground. I Am The Moon is our selection.
