In depth
Verdict
Moon Glow will find this easier than when chasing the likes of Percy Parkeeper and Saragann around Stratford. He can prove too strong for Yakareem, who has shown enough to suggest a little novice chase can come his way. Barry Fenton, who has ridden the latter in his four outings to date over fences, takes over the reins on Hoh No, who has yet to convince in his three outings so far over fences. He will be having his tongue tied down for the first time and it remains to be seen whether that will do the trick.
