Verdict
Moonstreaker, Pianoforte and King of the Moors are the trio to consider with Moonstreaker set to follow up a win last time. Pianoforte won on the all-weather at Wolverhampton during the winter and is a consistent type. However, he has only won once on Turf, and despite an encouraging effort last time he is taken on. King of the Moors races off a four pound lower mark than when successful at Redcar in November and he went well last time, finishing a good second over a furlong less than he tries here. He looks sure to be thereabouts. Moonstreaker slammed his field last time at Beverley over seven furlongs. He is seven pounds higher here, but he rarely runs a bad race, and given that most of his rivals are out of form, Moonstreaker has a good chance of following up.
