Impossible to hold a strong view in another low grade contest, so stakes are best kept to a minimum. Crucial Moment was off the mark on the Southwell Fibresand last time, but this test is a vastly differing one and it's purely a guessing game as to whether he can back up that improved effort. NEVER FOLDING appears open to more improvement than most and she shaped reasonably enough at Kempton on her handicap debut, and could be open to landing such a weak contest on her turf debut from a mark of 60.
