Moyoko was a game winner last time out and should go close again this afternoon, but we will take a chance with the Barney Curley trained Bold Phoenix, Kilimandscharo may do best of the others. The market will no doubt guide us with the selection but the form is there to see. His two victories earlier in the year were gained in great style and following three poor efforts he is now back down to a winning mark. Eddie Ahern is an interesting booking and the combination could be worth a bet. Moyoko won well at Kempton last time and she should go well despite a penalty. Kilimandscharo made his British debut in June and didn't do too badly. He hasn't raced since but doesn't look too badly treated in this contest. The best of the rest could be Desert Hawk, but if the money is down get on Bold Phoenix.
