MOONSHINE CREEK can defy his six pound penalty to land a hat-trick of wins at the expense of Pelham Cresent and Nawamees. The selection won at Brighton before winning over course and distance last week. He still looks potentially when handicapped at the moment and it would be no surprise to see him entering the winners enclosure once again. Pelham Cresent is four pounds higher in the weights since he won at this venue last time out. He steps up in trip to a mile and a half which he has failed to win at in the past but if he runs up to his best he is sure to be in the shake up. Nawamees continues to run well at the ripe old age of eleven. He won back to back races on the all weather during the winter and was not discredited when second to Polish Power at Lingfield last time out so any market moves should be noted.
