Verdict
MOONLIGHT VENTURE showed his inexperience racing on and off the bridle over track and trip on his debut. But he still managed to claim second and Kevin Ryan's charge can go one better in this. Two Moons has a shout on his introductory effort at Pontefract in August but is giving plenty of weight to the younger horses. Galaxy sets a decent standard at this level off a mark of 72 though Playtothewhistle has form at the course with a second here in January. Sea Spear's yard is always worthy of respect at this venue so it would be no surprise to see a big improvement from him.
