        Verdict

        Inner City represents last year’s winning yard though failed to land the odds at Sandown last time without an obvious excuse. But MISSION TO MOON took a step forward when runner-up at Kempton and finishing clear of the rest and the Varian colt gets the vote. Rey De La Batalla’s debut effort at Lingfield is stronger form than Aragon Castle and Rosenzoo managed on their introductions though the latter’s yard has a decent record in this.
