Verdict
CURRENT MOOD travelled strongly throughout when pulling well clear in a Ffos Las maiden on her hurdles bow. She should prove even more effective now upped in trip and will be hard to beat. Aviewtosea beat a subsequent winner at Bangor in April but has more on his plate here. Jersey was an eye-catcher at Uttoxeter last month, when Another Brown Bear was a disappointing favourite, and a line through the third gives him a good chance against What About Time on these terms.
