Goobinator won over the extended 2m trip at York last month while Raymond also scored over the same distance on the Knavesmore back in May. The betting suggested ECLIPSE DE LUNAR would return to winning ways at Catterick last time and Tim Easterby’s charge duly obliged with a cosy success over today’s trip. He looks worth sticking with in this given Roseabad was less than convincing upped to 1m6f at Sandown and Billy No Mates would prefer softer ground
