True Blue Moon won off a similar mark at Hamilton in the spring and was an eye-catcher at Thirsk last Sunday. Chookie Dunedin wasn’t far behind Gweedore, entered yesterday at Musselburgh, at Ayr last month and is better off at the weights while Cold Stare has been keeping better company. Sucellus didn’t handle Chester last month and also picked up a slight injury but would not want further rain. ELOQUENT ARTHUR placed twice over 7f last season and looked ready for a return to a longer trip when second last time at Windsor so gets the nod.
