Moonlit Harbour will be all the rage here, while the market may be the best guide to newcomer Big Tree and Sue Smith's Destino. Moonlit Harbour made a winning debut in bumper company at Wetherby last March and had two more outings in that sphere, the last at Newcastle, before being put away. He has been working well enough at home to warrant support on his comeback and will get every assistance in the saddle from Gino Carenza who is a strong pilot. Big Tree is French-bred and may have inherited enough Flat speed to make an impression first time out, while Destino has been tailed off in two outings so far, and must surely get better. Take Moonlit Harbour to send favourite backers home happy.
