With John Dunlop's stable back among the winners now, Harlestone Linn has to be respected but Mostarsil is hard to oppose and gets the vote ahead of Redspin, who looks to be the pick of the remainder. The selection does have a 5lb penalty to carry for his win on Lingfield's Polytrack last time but he remains well treated on his old turf form and Gary Moore's gelding is taken to follow up. Brendan Powell's Screen Test has disappointed in two starts back on the flat having won over hurdles at Fontwell in April. So Elegant looks to be in the grip of the handicapper and of more interest may be Redspin, who should strip fitter for a recent outing over hurdles and is well treated on the pick of his form. Mostarsil has solid claims though and he gets the vote for Gary Moore.
