In depth
Verdict
Triplemoon is on a roll at present and can keep up the good work, with Tilla, Duc's Dream and Little Tobias seen as the main dangers. Triplemoon has been something of a Redcar specialist of late, her last three visits resulting in victories. Although yet to score over two miles, she remains well handicapped compared to this time last year and must surely take all the beating in her current mood. Tilla opened her account at Pontefract and may have improvement to come, although her ability to see out the trip is open to question. She finished in front of Duc's Dream at the Yorkshire track and may confirm that form at least. Little Tobias, a winner over hurdles last year, may not have beaten much at Catterick but stays the trip, and Tass Heel lines up in a bit of form. All in all, with slight question marks over most of them for one reason or another, the safest option is to stick with Triplemoon to complete a four-timer.
