In depth

Verdict

MOONLIGHT ESCAPE won a heavy-ground bumper at Galway and made a reasonable debut over hurdles in similar conditions at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. She'll have come on a bundle for the experience and gets the vote though Pietralunga is greatly respected. She gained a debut success over 2m1f on the Flat at Dieppe in July and has joined Willie Mullins so could be anything. Bert Leaf is the other penalised runner in the line-up though her only victory in 21 starts on the Flat came in lowly company. The remainder with experience have shown little so Henry De Bromhead's newcomer Cool Saint, who has a very smart pedigree, could snatch a place.
