      In depth

      Verdict

      Winsley Hill gets the mares allowance and having a made a pleasing debut over fences when third behind Five Dream at Fontwell she has to be respected but MANMOON has an obvious chance here and is taken to open his account over the larger obstacles with the biggest threat from the remainder likely to come from Talikos. The last mentioned has slipped to a fair mark for handicaps now so it is a little surprising that connections are taking the route of running him in a novice chase today where he has a lot to find with the selection. Point-to-point winner Coffee Morning has yet to translate form between the flags to regulation fences and looks best watched, while Orion Star has been well held in his last two outings and looks out of his depth in this company. Nigel Hawke's Manmoon has plenty in hand on official BHA ratings, has run promising over fences already and he is hard to oppose in a race that should not take much winning.
