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.

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.
Expert View Verdict
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.
