In depth
Verdict
MR MOONSHINE ran well for fourth in the Old Roan Chase at Aintree on his comeback. An earlier second to Bocciani at Ayr gives him the beating of Wilde Pastures on collateral form and Sue Smith's charge can land this. Upsilon Bleu ran well in novice chases last term and goes handicapping for the first time while Swift Arrow could get involved if back to his best with a recent outing at Carlisle under his belt. Rhymers Ha' remains a shade high in the weights, although he's still preferred to Jet Master.
