Killonemoonlight is the one for us in a competitive race, with his biggest dangers reckoned to be Delray Beach and Green N' Gold. Classic Rock comes here on the back of a course and distance win, which is no bad thing at this track. Delray Beach looked good prior to finding Cheltenham too tough a task last time but, back in tip today, he can go well and should be seriously considered. Mobasher holds claims based on his 2004 form and Tony Dobbin is an interesting jockey booking. Gaelic Roulette maybe has something to prove from his revised mark; Green 'N' Gold's winning run came to an end at Carlisle last time but, up in trip from that run today, he can be seen in a better light; Killonemoonlight is lightly raced but has shown enough to be given a good shout today, particularly as his best effort so far has come on soft going; Over The Blues is also lightly raced and might find hurdles to his liking after a couple of disappointing chasing runs; Solway Minstrel might find today's going better for him than he discovered last time and is not a forlorn hope, while Whosethatfor is a lightly-raced potential improver who could well run well and should be watched in the betting. Overall, though, we will side with Killonemoonlight.
