Bomber's Moon is 0-19 but has the ability to figure in a race like this. City Never Sleeps is also a maiden over hurdles but has won over fences though, like Lord Getaway, lacks a recent run. Kingston King is 5lb out of the handicap but only 3lb higher than when scoring over the larger obstacles in June. However, he was well behind MASTER TRADESMAN at Newton Abbot in September and will struggle to reverse that form.
