Twilight Jet was only beaten a couple of lengths by Lusail in the Gimcrack and the latter has a penalty to carry in this. But Richard Hannon holds the latter in high esteem and he’s already won over this trip so should make a race of it with REACH FOR THE MOON, who was impressive in a Group 3 at Sandown after beating the useful Harrow by four lengths in a novice event at Newbury. Bayside Boy is closely matched with Lusail on collateral form and shouldn’t be ignored.
