In depth

Verdict

Winning hurdler Fleeting Moment gained his first success in 38 starts on the Flat three weeks ago and there's no reason why he shouldn't go well again from just 3lb higher. MATJAR, who was less than a length back in third, was having only his second start since June on that occasion and should be fit enough to take his revenge and gain his third success on Polytrack. Ger Lyons tries Shisha Threesixty over a mile despite his charge scoring over 1m3f in January. He should have enough pace to get involved but Aragorn Icon was behind Fleeting Moment last time and is still looking a couple of pounds high in the weights.
