Verdict
Mark Johnston has won two of the last three renewals and MOON TRIP can provide another success. He was only caught close home in a higher grade handicap at Newmarket last Saturday when well clear of the third and can go one better in this company. He beat the re-opposing Mojolika over C&D earlier so Gabrial's Star looks a bigger danger as he improved for the step up to today's trip at Ripon last time and there should be more to come from him. Yours Ever was sent off favourite at Ayr last month but found one too good, though she's not easily written off stretching out a further 3f here.
