Verdict
Market Rasen runner-up THE CRAZED MOON shares top weight but looks the one to beat in a modest novices’ handicap if cheekpieces have the desired effect. Snougar could improve a little for wind surgery and a case can also be made for Relkadam but Carlingford Prince is already 11 and doesn’t have much scope.
