      Verdict

      Favorite Moon’s run in the Melrose at York was too bad to be true but he has a lot of ground to make up on eventual second ARTHURIAN FABLE (NAP), who has placed twice on soft going over 1m4f and has taken his form to another level since stepped up to this trip. Listed winner Al Dabaran contests his first handicap having placed at Group 2 and Group 3 level. He will also handle conditions so can’t be ignored, despite top weight, having been gelded. Midrarr landed the odds in a maiden at Chester but stamina can’t be guaranteed and this looks a big ask for Dancing Harry from out of the handicap.
