In depth

Verdict

Most of these can be given a chance but FAVORITE MOON ran well upped to 1m4f at Doncaster on his return and the half-brother to smart stayer Fun Mac should appreciate this longer trip. Mark Johnston has won the last two renewals and Subjectivist is preferred to Dark Heart of his two runners after placing at Ascot last month when well ahead of To Nathaniel. The latter had earlier beaten both Punctuation and Cedar Cage in the process of landing a double at Kempton while Jellystone, Duke Of Condicote and Harmonious are all upped in class with the last pair closely matched on running over a shorter trip here last month.
