Verdict
Joseph O'Brien and Derek O'Connor make a formidable team so TOP MOON, who is by Spanish Moon out of a Flat winner, should have the pace for this in conditions that should suit. Zambezir is a half-brother to six winners, several of them on the Flat, so he's one to keep an eye on as is Liz Doyle's Fumet D'oudairies, whose dam has a pedigree full of winning bumpers. Long March is the second foal of a mare who won over a mile on Dirt in the USA and it would be no surprise to see a big run from him nor from the filly Cottie, though she has a more conventional jumper's pedigree.
