      Verdict

      With Ashfield's Dream and Or De Grugy both returning from a break, MY MOMENT could be the one here in a first-time visor. This is his first run for Tim Vaughan over fences and it's reasonable to expect the eight-year-old will have gleaned considerable benefit from an initial outing over hurdles. Harry Flashman rarely runs a bad race but gets little respite from the handicapper as a result, while Restoration had Steel Magnate behind is when second over C&D in June. He is 4lb higher today, though should be approaching peak fitness now.
