Verdict
David Pipe won this in 2018 with Umbrigado and Astigar looks a similar type on pedigree, though may do better when going jumping. Nicky Henderson’s bumper horses have been carrying all before them and Moonlight Flit is by top NH sire Getaway and the first foal to race of a winning hurdler. Solwara One finished second at Wetherby in February while Party Fuzz placed at that track a month later. MOONDANCER is a half-brother to five winners on the Flat and two winners over jumps. It’s likely he’ll have more natural speed than the majority of these and his stable has been going well lately. All Shook Up is also interesting.
