Stan Moore has not had a winner since FOUR KICKS obliged over course and distance over a week ago, and the filly can put a smile back on his face here at the main expense of Aestival and Noah Jameel. The selection won an apprentice handicap that day from his current mark of 56 before failing to fire quite so well at Bath, but the return here can bring better things and he looks to have every chance. Aestival may well go off favourite for this after running Iceman George to a length at Yarmouth on his seasonal return. Sir Mark Prescott's runners usually come on for their first run and from the same mark he has to be feared. Noah Jameel is raised 3lbs for just getting the better of Highkingofireland at Nottingham, and that opponent gave the form a very solid look at Ripon on Tuesday, so Tony Newcombe's charge is not disounted, and the same applies to Kashmina, now she has dropped to a very handy mark. Four Kicks is the one for us.
