Verdict

Verde Luna, who sprang a shock result when landing a Fontwell handicap chase late last month is the TEAMtalk selection to land a race that is little better than selling class. The 10-year-old was ending a string of moderate performances when taking full advantage of a lenient mark and looks worth following now that he has resumed the winning habit. Mr Cavallo is a consistent performer at this level but could prove vulnerable under top weight while Roymillon has had an interrupted campaign and is perhaps best watched on his return from a near three-month absence. Morph stepped up on previous efforts on his comeback from injury and is entitled to be sharper for the outing so should not be underestimated.
