Verdict
The step up to 2m clearly suited Moscato at Nottingham and his proven stamina will be an asset here. The 7lb higher mark might be a problem, however, with Nelson Of The Nile a probable improver now given a real test. FREDERIC CHOPIN has won over 1m6f and his latest run at Sandown was too bad to be true. He can reverse that form with Arcamante with Richard Hughes taking over the reins. Oakbank was third at Lingfield on Wednesday but that was on the Polytrack.
