    Verdict

    As ever, a market check is advised but Another Moment is a reasonable starting point for the finale. Alan Swinbank's runners in this sphere have to be feared and this son of Sakhee was very well backed ahead of his debut in March. He failed to deliver but his subsequent absence suggests that something may have been amiss and he can set the record straight. Wheyaye and La Donna Del Largo both shaped well at Wetherby and should improve whilst the newcomers should be monitored closely but Another Moment may be able to show just why he was sent off as favourite last time.
