Verdict
The progressive Arab Moon has already beaten Banish but is upped a further 10lb for his latest success over 1m4f here. Kasperenko found an 8lb rise beyond him last time having won at Doncaster before that and it remains to be seen how the unbeaten MOUNTAIN HUNTER copes with a 9lb hike in the weights. But the latter returned a ready winner in this grade at Goodwood on his handicap debut and Saeed bin Suroor’s charge hasn’t stopped improving yet. The remainder look up against it with Bush House perhaps best of them on his earlier course and distance success.
