        Verdict

        A competitive field goes to post with many in-form rivals in opposition, including Moscow Leader, The Masareti Kid and Deneises Blossom, but we'll take a chance on Moscow Leader. The top weight has held his form well and a reproduction of his third behind Red Rover at Carlisle would make him hard to beat. The Maserati Kid rates the main danger and he is a course and distance winner who was a good second behind Petrea last time. He should go well with conditions again in his favour. Deneises Blossom is on a fair mark and showed his well-being when a fair third in a chase behind Silent Snipe last time. A return to hurdles should suit and he looks to have decent place claims. Of the remainder, Tentsmuir had every chance until falling in a similar race last time out so should go well, but we are happy to side with Moscow Leader.
