Verdict
Mosspark was second to Annacotty, who went on the score over hurdles and fences, in a point-to-point at Kirkistown a year ago and has obvious potential for Emma Lavelle. Ned Stark also showed promise between the flags while Beau De Tabel made his hurdling debut in a better race here last week, though jinked and unseated his rider at the first. Bumper winner Neville was third at Worcester last month but MINELLA FRIEND's close-up second to the latter's stablemate Horizontal Speed here three weeks ago is easily the best form on offer. The longer trip won't be a problem and Evan Williams' charge is the one to beat.
