While MOONDHARRIG clearly has more on his plate following an 8 lb rise for the latest of his two C&D victories since the turn of the year, it's equally clear that he is on an upward curve and the 4-y-o is taken to complete the hat-trick. Long-standing maiden Anjah has performed with plenty of credit the last twice and should be on the premises once again, while top-weight Picpoul, Hale Bopp and Wonder Spirit are others to consider.
