Race preview
This staying test will not inconvenience MOON DAISY. She has had a good summer as she was placed in Leopardstown and Galway before scoring in a valuable Racing League contest at Doncaster. It is probably best to ignore a below-par effort on her first run on an all-weather surface in Newcastle at the start of the month. Ever A Dream was electric when blitzing the field at this track in July which has to give her claims. She kept on stoutly to win that mile and a half handicap on good ground by a whopping eight lengths. The handicapper certainly had his say and she hasn't been placed in her next two outings, however, they were on rain-softened ground so she has to have claims back on good going. Blue Shadow and Siobhan Rutledge are sure to be popular under the 6lb penalty off the back of their victory over a mile and a half in Dundalk on Friday evening. Nibiru is one to keep an eye on in the market after finishing strongly in second over hurdles at Navan on Saturday.
