Rated 73, Live In The Moment should be thereabouts again at this level having gone close over a shorter trip at Bath. Bill The Butcher is also upped in trip after placing over 6f at Chelmsford but PERFECT EMPIRE drops down in distance. Mark Johnston’s colt faded inside the closing stages when attempting to make all over a mile in the soft ground at Ayr on last week’s debut and should go close if allowed his own way in front here. He’s preferred to stablemate Rulers Kingdom with the remainder harder to fancy.
