Verdict
Moabit made mistakes and was well beaten when second at Huntingdon and will need to improve on that to play a part. Brian Boranha could find this too sharp but has a good record here over hurdles. The Tailgater wasn’t beaten far at Warwick last time but that form hasn’t worked out as well as expected. WORK IN PROGRESS has had a couple of chase starts at Catterick, finding 3m1f too far on the latter occasion. A three-time hurdles winner, he can put that experience to good use today.
