The form on offer in this bumper does not look great so it is worth looking towards the newcomers with the vote going to the MOSCOW CATCH with both Adeus Ayrton and Saint Espiegle worth noting. The selection makes the long journey from Yorkshire down to Herefordshire and coming for the Jefferson stable who have a great strike rate in these races he has to be highly respected. It is the stables only runner and the market should prove the best guide to his chances. Evan Williams can also ready them first time out and once again the market will be the best guide to the chances of Adeus Ayrton. He looks a well-bred individual and it would be no surprise to see him in the shake up. Saint Espiegle has the one run under his belt and he will improve for the experience. He was not beaten out of sight when fifth of 11 at Worcester and was supported in the ring so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Moscow Catch.
