Gary Moore has won this for the last two years and his pair can fight out the finish this evening. Mount Shamsan was second in a claimer here in June and is rated 3lb higher than GAELIC SILVER. But Hector Crouch claims 5lb off the recent Brighton runner-up and the 10-year-old can get the better of his younger stablemate. Classic Colori is looking a light of former days while this is probably too far for Adventure Zone.
