Verdict

Gary Moore saddles a trio of runners but others are preferred. Fanfaron Dino, a previous course winner, has a chance despite top weight. Both of Ray's The One’s victories have come on this track so he’s another for the shortlist but Caoilin Quinn’s claim reduces MICKYH’s feather weight even further and the seven-year-old looks the one to beat after a couple of recent seconds at Plumpton. Dazzling Dove has also placed the last twice but a wind operation doesn’t seem to have improved the disappointing Filanderer.
