Verdict
Moonlight Rhapsody hasn't been seen since disappointing when favourite at Leicester at the end of April so preference here is for ZAMINA. Sylvester Kirk's filly is proving very consistent this year and should make a bold bid to defy the penalty she picked up for scoring at Windsor on Monday evening. Amistress may be high enough in the weights now but Arctic Cat has been dropped a couple of pounds since running fifth at Doncaster earlier this month and is less exposed than some. Piave is blinkered for the first time but has struggled since winning his maiden at Redcar in April.
