Verdict

Shesastar began last season on a mark of 68 and she's now on 86. David Barron's filly won't mind the ground and Ryan Moore is an interesting booking. MOONE'S MY NAME was an impressive winner on her comeback at Windsor and, though she's never performed on soft ground and is 9lb higher, looks the one to be on. Diverting was superbly placed to land four handicaps last summer and though beaten on her final start off today's mark she didn't get the best of runs. Certral's three career victories have been on very fast going though she ran well enough on ground with some give on her reappearance at Nottingham. Chatterati has been raised 9lb for beating four opponents at Southwell which seems harsh but Free Verse scored on soft ground at Catterick on her final start in October and returns to action on what could prove to be a lenient mark.
