Local handler James Moffatt is represented by runners who've performed consistently without getting their respective heads in front. The Steward, a little below par the last twice, is of considerable interest in a modest affair and Dagian, a three-time runner-up during the winter months last season is hard to assess having finished last of 17 returned to the track on the Flat last month. Richard Johnson is a good booking for Mistiroc who's been running fairly well on the level and has every chance if transferring that level to the jumping game. RUKWA has been in fair form over timber this season, probably still has more to offer and should be on the premises in a tricky contest.
