Verdict
Deciding Moment was only beaten a neck at Uttoxeter last time but is 4lb higher here. CARRIGMORNA KING travelled strongly for a long way on his reappearance over a longer trip at Warwick. He should strip fitter here and is taken to go one better having been left on the same mark. Book 'Em Danno has lost his way a little while The Druids Nephew and According To Trev are hard to catch right, though both are fairly treated. Kilbree Kid may lack the experience for a race like this and it may be tough too for Chapolimoss.
