Verdict

MOON HUNTER ran no sort of race in a Grade 2 event at Warwick in January, but he was tackling much more testing ground than previously, so is well worth another chance, especially having created a good impression prior to that. Idealdes Villerets and Henry's Friend are the obvious threats.

  3. HENRY'S FRIEND (IRE)
