In depth
Verdict
Adalie, Moscow Leader and Royal China are three against the field in another open affair and the tentative vote goes to Moscow Leader. The selection was a good second behind Bobs Buster last time out that form has since been franked and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Adalie rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Alleged Slave however he was all out on that occasion and he may struggle under his penalty. Royal China was a distant third behind Koquelicot last time but this represents a drop in class so he has definite place claims. Full on is another in form but he looks to have a bit to do off top weight. Of the remainder L'Orphelin is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Moscow Leader.
