MOONMEISTER didn't do himself justice over a mile here last month but it's a surprise that the handicapper has seen fit to drop him 3lb as he's now on a lower mark than when second at Galway and Clonmel earlier. Joseph O'Brien is a significant jockey booking for Gordon Elliott's charge, who should recoup losses. Elusive Laurence and Headlong were second and third over track and trip two weeks ago and there should be little between the pair again. They hold Broadway Musical on the form book. Barmy Brussels is a doubtful stayer and Sar Oiche stopped quickly on her debut on the surface here last time and is now blinkered.
