MOSS GILL (NAP) arrives for the feature event in fine form having returned to winning ways back on soft ground at York last week. He beat Count D'Orsay a couple of lengths on that occasion with a few of these further behind and James Bethell’s progressive sprinter can go in again. Hyperfocus went close on the Knavesmire last week but that was over 6f while Wrenthorpe makes a quick reappearance having landed a double with a victory in heavy going at Nottingham just three days ago but is upped in class for this. Arecibo finished in front of Makanah at York before going close in Listed company at Ascot a fortnight ago and has strong claims while Teruntum Star ran well for third in a handicap at the same meeting. She Can Boogie and Four Wheel Drive are among those with something to find with the selection.
