Verdict
Moonraker is 5lb higher than when scoring over track and trip in August when beating SQUATS (NAP) by just over a length. But the latter re-opposes on more favourable terms today and can take his revenge with Ryan Moore taking over the reins. William Haggas' charge is also preferred to stablemates Roossey and Heartbreak Hero while Dawn's Early Light won here in July but is 14lb higher now and has something to find with the selection on latest running. Previous Doncaster winner The Tin Man found a 12lb rise beyond him at York last time and the likes of Felix Leiter and Apache Storm are upped in class after going close on their latest starts. Field Game drops back in trip and has a shout on his third at Newmarket back in May.
