Verdict
Moyassar bolted up at Chelmsford having finished runner-up to useful juveniles previously at York and Newmarket. It would be no surprise if he won again but does have to give 3lb to the less-exposed METALLIC BLACK, who was an impressive debut winner at Pontefract. On that evidence, the extra furlong here won;t pose too many problems though he will need to settle better. Blyton has not progressed from a couple of seconds at the start of the summer but Grandstand is a likely improver having run green at Salisbury 12 days ago.
