Verdict
Broken Moon is taken to land the finale at the expense of Compton Falcon and Palace Walk. The selection has been running well enough in defeat of late and although he might look a little frustrating to follow this looks like one of his easiest opportunities to date so is worth siding with once more. Compton Falcon is another that has shown form but is still winless after ten starts. Again this looks like a drop in grade compared to some of the races he has run in so any market moves should be noted. Palace Walk caught the eye at Chepstow last time out after a stint over jumps. That was his first run on the level for over two years but he could be well treated here so is another to note. But for the winner we return to Broken Moon.
