This looks tight and tricky with PSI only a tentative recommendation. Gary Moore seems to have decided that his consistent gelding's best chance of success is to be pitched in against more exposed handicappers, a move that may prove entirely dependent upon the fluency of the selection's fencing and his willingness to battle. Molanna View is also being thrown straight into handicap company after falling on his novice chase bow when backed into favouritism. He's well worth keeping an eye on too off a tempting mark, whilst Silver Dollars and Ready Or Not appeal most of the more exposed brigade.
