Verdict
A large field goes to post for this handcap and we will side with Moonage Daydream to get the better of Fulford and Shakespeare's Son. Tim Easterby won this race last year and he looks to have solid claims of scooping the prize again here. His 3-year-old Moonage Daydream won well last time, he is well-drawn today, he remains unexposed and we think he can overcome a penalty to make it back-to-back wins. Fulford finished behind our selection last time and he is better off at the weights today, but the simple fact is that he is thoroughly exposed and he lacks the scope of our choice. Shakespeare's Son ran well on his return from a break last time, and he is unexposed on the turf so he is worth consideration, although his low draw is a cause for concern. Thomas Malory would have claims on the pick of his form from last season, but he has not been firing of late, and a safer bet looks to be Moonage Daydream who is put forward as our pick.
