Formscan - SHE'S NOTJOEKING appreciated dropping slightly in trip and being ridden positively at Newcastle when making all and is taken to put in another bold showing now confidence has been restored. This is no penalty kick, though, as Platin Moon won over C&D two starts ago and continued in good form courtesy of a Musselburgh third. Course scorer The Coffey Boy is another expected to go well.
