Collateral form gives O'Gorman the beating of Novellen Lad but the former hasn't raced since September. Clear Praise finished ahead of Tax Free when fourth over 5f here last time but still looks a shade high in the weights. Trojan Rocket is upped 5lb for beating Light From Mars over track and trip and the latter has since finished behind runner-up Jay Bee Blue over 7f here. Firmdecisions has also been competing and winning over 7f, although a longer trip rather than this drop back to 6f would seem more in his favour so PALACE MOON is preferred. The latter looks set to take advantage of a slip down the weights after a couple of recent placed efforts.
