In the opener, Callisto Moon is selected ahead of Soliya and Tension Point. The first juvenile novice event of the current campaign presents something of a poser and maybe the betting might act as a good guide. We have opted for Callisto Moon, a 65-rated, 11-furlong winner on the Flat at Warwick, form that stands up to inspection in terms of the list of probables for this contest. Included on that list are Cavillo di Ferro, a 58-rated 8-furlong all-weather winner, Green Day Packer, who has shown promise in all-weather handicaps, Tension Point, who showed enough on the Flat to be given some thought here, and the David Pipe-trained Soliya. Once again, though, the selection is Callisto Moon.
