Josh Moore partnered MR MAYNARD to victory over a slightly longer trip at Uttoxeter last month. He's been raised 8lb since but has plenty in his favour again and could have too much speed for these on the ground. Jazz Man won at Uttoxeter on Sunday and should make a bold bid to defy his penalty while Vedani was third at Fontwell after winning at Towcester. Kyles Faith won here in May but is 17lb higher now and Flintstone may need more time.
