          Verdict

          This is not a race to be dogmatic about and the market could be a good guide to any stable confidence as some frustrating characters take each other on here. And Moonshine Bill is only a tentative selection to get the better of the likes of Red River Rebel, Nakwa and Life Is Beautiful, a rival whose overall profile, like many of the field, would suggest that he is no certainty to put in a similar effort to the one that saw him emerge victorious from seller at Beverley last time. Ipledgeallegiance and Duc's Dream are capable of going close at this level but have been a nightmare to predict in the past and can never be supported with an extreme amount of confidence. Therefore, it may be worth siding with the relatively unexposed Moonshine Bill, who met a more progressive rival over 10 furlongs here last time but is sure to be suited by this stiffer test today. The four-year-old can be a little headstrong according to his trainer but has the right man in Robert Winston aboard to settle him over this trip. Ellway Heights will also be dangerous to rule out and is yet another to monitor for support.
