Verdict
Moon Trip's only victory over timber came over the minimum trip while Burgess Dream has yet to score under Rules. Miss Mayfair scored over the distance at Huntingdon though is 10lb higher but FLEMI TWO TOES scored over the course and distance in February and is handed the vote in a moderate contest. Maccabees was beaten a long way when runner-up at Fontwell and one victory in 25 starts over timber hardly inspires confidence.
