Fifteen runners, but this looks set to go to Moscow Flyer, with the rest playing for places. Philip Hobbs' six-year-old stays extremely well and looks to have plenty in hand, over what it must be said are some disappointing rivals. Local trainer Robin Dickin saddles a couple in this, the best of whom may be Hanbrin Rose, who shaped with a little promise here behind Quedex. This step up in trip should suit and she may be the one to follow the selection home. Hurdling debutante Victory Gunner didn't shape too badly in bumpers, and may be good enough to reach the frame.
