ORBIT THE MOON ran out a six-length winner of a maiden over today's trip at Thirsk last time. Michael Dods' colt can go in again given the majority of the field are struggling to find their best form. Elusivity could prove the best of them as he's gone close on his last couple of starts, but Whipphound's double last year came on the Polytrack and Barista's two victories came in testing ground. Home Office appears to be going the wrong way, as does last September's Redcar winner Regimental.
