In depth
Verdict
Dropped in class for his Fibresand debut over today's trip last Thursday, Ghostwing bounced back to form when beaten only a length by Cadeaux Pearl with Dancing Freddy back in fifth. Slowly away on that occasion, he has leading claims with a decent start, but just behind in third place last time came the re-opposing RYLEE MOOCH. The latter is only 2lb higher than his win at Carlisle in July and looks ready to strike. No Mean Trick is not easily ignored and, though Shawkantango has been below par recently, he does have four C&D victories to his credit.
