Top-weight Tabadul has obvious form claims here and can get the better of Torrens and Moon On A Spoon. The selection was successful first time up this season on the all-weather at Kempton and has not been disgraced in three races since. He came up against the smart Crosspeace at Goodwood last time and was only narrowly beaten. A repeat of that sort of effort should be good enough this afternoon. Torrens put in an improved effort at Ayr last time out when chasing home Go Solo. Once again ground and trip are in his favour and a big run is expected. Course and distance winner Moon On A Spoon is at the right end of the handicap and should go well for Joe Fanning. Moohimm is from a top yard and has to be respected, but Tabadul looks the class act here and he gets the decision.
