72 Expert View: Out-kicked but had a good trip and improved from his debut after a break when winning a maiden at Chelmsford by a nose last time; trainer in form; effective at 6f and typically has the good attitude of his sire's progeny, with a bit more to come.

Form Snapshot: A winner at 10-3 at Chelmsford City over 6f on his latest outing earlier this month, dead-heating with Numero Vingt.

74 Expert View: Built on her debut run, though the market expected more, when second beaten 2 1/4l in a maiden at Haydock latest; just about sets the form standard and gets weight from main rival; fair claims back from break with drop in trip no issue.

Form Snapshot: Placed in both starts. Beaten 2 1/4l by Samra Green when second of 10 at 2-5fav on her latest outing at Haydock over 7f (good) in August last year.

Verdict

MOONSHINE did little wrong in two outings on turf last term and looks just the sort to improve as a three-year-old. The daughter of Starman is not expected to have any issues with Polytrack and a breakthrough victory could be on the cards. Numero Vingt shared the spoils at Chelmsford, but a penalty does demand more of Archie Watson's charge. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from Southern Warrior, who has shown ability at Southwell.

Top Tip: Moonshine (5)
Watch out for: Southern Warrior (3)

MOONSHINE was a touch disappointing given market expectations last time but she still sets a clear standard on form and should be tough to beat on her return from a break. The drop back in trip won't be an issue given she placed in a hot maiden first time out over 6f on the turf and she should be able to defeat Numero Vingt who made a winning reappearance on his AW debut. He will provide the main threat but will need to improve to defy a penalty. Mayflyer is likely to want further than this in time but the track could bring her stamina into play and see her on the podium.
