    Verdict

    Moonadee beat higher rated horses in a classified event at Nottingham back in May and has been raised 10lb for his trouble. Preference is for MOLTEN LAVA as he looks to have an easier task raised 5lb for winning at Windsor last month and Paul Cole's charge gets the nod. Longside finished a bit closer at Wolverhampton last time but that was over 6f while winning hurdler Collodi last won on the Flat in 2013.
