Verdict
Gary Moore's horses are running well but Oh So Fruity took a nasty tumble at Kempton in February and may need a confidence restorer. At the other end of the weights, JOHN BISCUIT landed a conditionals’ race at Plumpton last week so arrives here on the same mark and may be good enough to follow up in an equally poor contest. Winning point-to-pointer Ballycash hasn't shown much over hurdles and may do better when tackling fences but Midnight Gem found the ground too fast at Stratford in May after a much better run on good going at Fontwell. Demographic won a handicap there two years ago, though has had very little racing subsequently, but Mount Vesuvius has been on the go all summer and is better over shorter.
