In depth
Verdict
Another very competitive affair with Crocolat, Crackleando and Moonshine Beach our three against the field, and the vote goes to the first named. Steff Liddiard's filly won a couple of twelve furlong events on the all-weather at Southwell, before running with credit when stepping up in trip at Kempton last time. The second has since landed a decent event at Goodwood so the form is rock solid. Moonshine Beach a dual winner in August, ran well to finish third in a similar race at Bath last time. He should go well despite the steadier of 9st 10lb. Crackleando rarely runs a bad race and put up another solid display over course and distance last time when chasing home Super Fellow, another bold run can be expected. Riyadh can also be given a squeak on his best form, but Crocolat looks the pick of the weights and is gets the verdict
