In depth
Verdict
Ring The Moon is penalised for trouncing equally-modest opposition at Leicester five days ago but must have every chance of a follow-up. Leave My Alone was handed victory on a plate at Fakenham last month when Barden Bella fell two out but would probably have won anyway and is only 4lb higher. Anthony Honeyball’s string has been in good form and, following a short break, AVOIR DE SOINS is worth another chance back over a more suitable trip having found 2m too short at Lingfield last time.
