Verdict
Kilig would certainly have claims in a race like this on his best form but may not have been done any favours by the draw. Stablemate Little Ted also goes on the shortlist but MOONLIGHTING is less exposed than both and can return from almost 12 months on the sidelines with a victory ahead of Our Dave. My Sister Jo and Momentum are both having a first run on Turf but shouldn’t be ignored.
