Verdict
Few make much appeal but Gary Moore has won two of the last three renewals so ISKAR D’AIRY gets the nod. Only fourth over a slightly longer trip in a handicap here last time, he looks to have every chance back in maiden company. Highland Frolic comes out best at the weights but arrives in poor form and Happy Boy has yet to figure over hurdles. Eliza Dolittle was beaten when falling on her hurdling bow while Tune In A Box debuts over timber.
