Verdict

Favorite Moon scored on the Flat in the UK and Australia where he landed a Group 3. He made a reasonable start over timber at Bellewstown and should improve. No Trouble has had six starts over hurdles and appears to be getting better judging on last month's second at Cartmel though FINNTHEMAGICIAN (NAP) is taken to make up for last month's unlucky run at Down Royal. Gordon Elliott's charge was having a battle with eventual runner-up Evenwood Sonofagun after the last when bumped by that rival and fell. He was much less experienced than the latter and can recoup losses. Will You Win has now had 19 starts over timber without winning.
