Racing Post verdict
Third-partyChicago Moon heads this 11-runner Sligo contest on a 14-furlong trip on good ground, rated narrowly ahead of Cascade Canyon and four pounds clear of Mare Crisium, giving him a modest but genuine edge at the top of the field. Cascade Canyon and Mare Crisium are the most likely dangers, with Queen Of Astolat also capable of making her presence felt on these terms. Confidence is limited in what looks a genuinely competitive heat, but the ratings point in one direction. **Chicago Moon** is our selection.
