Verdict
Birch Hill has left Nicky Henderson and joined Sophie Leech but new connections have booked Richard Johnson to ride so he must be fancied to run well. The yard also run bumper winner Samson, but he's been running poorly on the all-weather. MOONDAY SUN won six times up to 1m2f on the Flat and made a reasonable start over hurdles at Stratford two weeks ago - he can put that experience to good use here. Winning Ticket has shown some ability but was still beaten 18 lengths when second at Southwell in May.
