Dark Opal scored on her handicap debut over 5f at Newcastle and is fancied to confirm running with fourth placed Cumbrian Craic. Lady Moonlight seems to be treading water now after winning a couple of times and needs to step up but Cuisine looks to have dropped to a winning mark on his latest second at Wolverhampton. POPPY BOND was straight enough to score at the first time of asking back in May. She's having her first start since but beat subsequent three-time winner Liber in soft ground at Redcar and is likely to have improved since. Ena Sharples won a seller at Ripon last time and should go well along with Mixed Message.
