In depth
Verdict
The penalised Night Moment has been thereabouts since scoring over 7f at Musselburgh earlier and can figure again while RISHWORTHIAN faced a stiff task in the Super Sprint at Newbury last time and has been gelded since. The latter had won over 6f at Thirsk before that and, with breeding suggesting this longer trip will suit, David O’Meara’s charge gets the vote. Altalune is another attempting 7f for the first time on the back of a trip over to France and is another to consider with Lady Ziana preferred to Pandemic off the newcomers.
