In depth
Verdict
Placed at Warwick in March, Eco Warrior disappointed when beaten a long way at Stratford in the same month. Celestino also ran well at Warwick when last seen at the track in May and Raise A Spark has been placed twice over hurdles. MONDLICHT finished fourth at Fotwell during the summer and the runner-up went on to land a double. James Moffatt's has been dropped 8lb since then and gets the nod in this. Robben was placed on the Flat last month and an earlier second over timber also brings him into the reckoning.
