If there is confidence behind him in the betting, all the better. Hamaleel found some improvement when scoring at Kempton last time and she is feared most, while Hardstyle could also have a big part to play if able to shrug off a below-par display on his latest start.

This is wide open. MOON OVER THE SEA goes really well around here and wasn’t seen to best effect when fifth last time He gets a tentative vote over Tiger Beetle who also didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when seventh over C&D recently and has plenty of winning form here.
