Verdict
A seller to start proceedings and we will chance Killone Moonlight although Krasivi's Boy and Hawk's Landing are interesting participants. Tony Newcombe¿s mare is not particularly speedy but with bottomless conditions anticipated, she wouldn¿t have to be and with proven form in the ground, she could represent some value at the likely odds. Krasivi's Boy heads a battalion from the Jimmy Frost stable. The trip has to be an unknown. Hawk's Landing was much the best of these a while ago. He can get himself under pressure from some way out but he did at least stick on in a Market Rasen handicap the other day. Heir To Be has the services of Nick Scholfield in the plate. He has a big chance on figures but has been well beaten on his last three starts. Mobasher is a regular in plating grade and looks exposed these days. Three Lions' chasing campaign has proved abortive and he is sensibly returned back to selling hurdles. Oxybau would have some sort of a chance on his Tom Taaffe form but that seems a long time ago now. Killone Moonlight is the pick in a race that is unlikely to trouble the course record.
