Verdict
Not a race to tackle with too much vigour and although Better Moments has to be respected, he is worth taking on if his price proves to be a little restricting. Celtic Justice makes the most appeal as an alternative and the drop back in trip could prove to be significant. Brady Boys makes the most appeal of the rest.
