        Verdict

        Moonraker is best at Southwell and won easily at the latter track in April. But he can race off a lower mark on this surface and is preferred to Flip Mode, who narrowly beat Bluebell Time in soft going over track and trip just over five weeks ago. It was also soft ground when Bellevarde finished runner-up at Ripon but EQUALLY FAST (NAP) was beaten less than a length at Bath last month having slipped down the weights and Ron Harris’ charge makes most appeal in this.
