An outright favourite and a couple of joint-favourites have won the previous three renewals and MOONRAKER looks sure to prove popular. Beaten only a nose on this card last year, Mick Channon's sprinter won at Ascot a fortnight ago and a 5lb rise is negated by Daniel Cremin's allowance. Imtiyaaz also arrives on the back of a win but is upped in class off an 8lb higher mark and the unexposed maiden winner Scent Of Summer looks a bigger threat. The latter's stablemate Foreign Diplomat was a long way behind the winner Olivia Fallow at Thirsk and the latter may well reverse earlier running with Imtiyaaz on better terms today.
