Verdict

GUARD THE MOON is taken to defy the handicapper and complete a hat-trick, with the step back up in trip promising to see him in an even better light. Harbour Lake ran well in a couple of warm handicaps in the spring and might provide the main threat if resuming in similar form. Willaston and Magical King are others likely to have a say.

  1. GUARD THE MOON
  2. HARBOUR LAKE (IRE)
  3. WILLASTON (IRE)
