Verdict

Moonmeister is one to note for a market move as Tony Martin has won this previously and has had a few go close. The seven-year-old is on a good mark and he is fit from a couple of recent runs on the Flat. Ivanovich Gorbatov is hard to catch right these days but his best recent efforts have come on good ground so he may bounce back from a poor run last time. SHANNING has shaped well in competitive races on her last two starts when bumping into attractively weighted rivals. Moonmeister apart, there is nothing lurking on a dangerous mark and she can grab the valuable prize her consistency deserves.
