    Verdict

    LEO LUNA's jumping has improved of late and, though no match for subsequent Aintree runner-up Carraig Mor at Exeter last time, won over 2m6f at this track previously and should be good enough to give the weight to well-beaten Market Rasen third Midnight Oscar and the largely-disappointing Veauce De Sivola, who fell on his only previous try over the larger obstacles.
