Verdict
Moral Issue went close at Ayr last month and comes out best at the weights of those with an official rating. However, he's had plenty of chances and BEECHCRAFT BARON could improve past him. The latter faded badly in the closing stages when sent off favourite for his handicap debut at Windsor last time, but this longer trip should suit and Willie Haggas' charge can register another winner for Paul Hanagan. Merito stepped up on his debut form with a better effort at Doncaster last time and the newcomers Chookie Royale and Luck By Chance are worth noting for any strong support in the betting.
