Verdict

Moonlight Glory, a winner at Newcastle last month, is worth considering after a planned return to Gosforth Park yesterday was thwarted by the weather. Living's Boy An Co won a Market Rasen handicap by 20 lengths in October and went up 10lb. He jumped very poorly at Musselburgh the following month and hasn't raced since. RIBEYE battled to victory on just his second start over fences at Market Rasen last month and then ran well over timber at Carlisle. He's in good form at the moment and can take care of Coolmoyne, still a maiden after 11 starts. Coup De Gold has a career record of 1-50 and makes his chasing debut.
