Verdict

The rejuvenated CALLISTO MOON landed a hat-trick when scoring by over four lengths at Sandown last week. Twice a winner over C&D, he remains on a decent mark despite a penalty and is the one to beat. One For Joules re-opposes on better terms but was beaten a long way by the selection at Catterick earlier while Handles For Forks has gone off the boil since a win at Doncaster in June. Hidden Valley scored over C&D last season but has struggled for form so far this year while Sunny Future was still five lengths behind the winner when runner-up at Chepstow on his penultimate start. Bumper winner Big Time Billy is unexposed on the Flat and could go well on the back of a placed effort at Folkestone.
