Race Tip

DARK ISSUE (2) followed a decisive Goodwood debut success with a 2. 5L fourth in the course-and-distance G3 Albany Stakes providing latest appearance. That form gives her a solid profile and she sets the standard. MOONRISE (8) improved markedly when beaten 0. 5L in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes tackling this track and trip. Main danger. ALTA REGINA (1) was sixth attempting 5f in the G2 Queen Mary Stakes following an impressive Lingfield victory. Return to 6f gives her some appeal. DEE’S FUNNY GIRL (3) finished 3. 25L behind the main selection in the Albany and Ryan Moore is booked. Not discounted.
