In depth
Verdict
OSCARS MOONSHINE (NAP) won this in 2020 and scored again here back in April. He’s penalised for making a winning reappearance at Kempton last week but Olive Nicholls’ could afford to ease him down on that occasion and he gets the vote to complete a hat-trick. Mikhailovich also made a winning return to action when successful at Huntingdon but is raised 9lb. Bashers Reflection ended last season with a double and Sheldon was in the lead when falling at the last at Stratford. Gyenyame and Lassue are maiden winners but the latter returns from a lengthy absence.
