      Verdict

      MOSCOW ME has been raised a further 2lb since finding Blandford Gunner too good over course and distance last month but still looks the most likely winner of this opener. Gold Ingot has been a big disappointment this season but Kerryhead Storm won over track and trip in March and was third at Ludlow two runs ago. Le Fin Bois has yet to win in this country but was second at Huntingdon in October off today's mark whereas Supreme Asset was pulled up in his only start so far this term.
