Wolf Moon may still have a bit of scope over fences and was just beaten back over hurdles here two weeks ago. Dawn Ride runs his best races here but unseated his rider early on over C&D last time and this is a bit better than the races he usually contests. Court Red Handed has been eased a couple of pounds since finishing second at Fakenham, while Mister Marker should be all the better for his run at Carlisle and will like the ground. The vote, however, goes to VAMIZI who would have gone very close on his return to action at Carlisle had he not gone through the last. Morgan Be has been a good servant to connections but may need this.
