    Verdict

    Another small field here and the finish should concern Stars Delight, September Moon and Throwaline, with the latter benefiting from the assistance of champion Tony McCoy. He gets the vote. The Philip Hobbs inmate ran a fine second to Brooklyn Breeze at the prestigious Ayr meeting on what was his first try on a fast surface, and as he was not stopping at the finish, is sure to appreciate the extra distance here. September Moon came good at Exeter nine days ago, beating the useful Desmond Tutu and is a progressive sort who should give a good account of herself. Stars Delight meanwhile, added to his course success by hacking up at Taunton last time. With his claimer taking off a useful seven pounds, Gary Moore's charge can go well despite topweight. The remaining pair, Ben More and Pharailde are up against it.
