        Verdict

        Moonday Sun is now 8lb higher than when scoring at Wolverhampton in March and has not won on Turf since 2013. Icebuster and Mountain Rescue are closely matched having filled the places at Bath last month while Omotesando went close on his reappearance at Wolverhampton but both wins on Turf last year came in soft ground and he’s upped a further 5lb for this. GULF OF POETS popped-up at 33/1 at Beverley last month on only his second start for Mick Easterby. Nathan Evans’s allowance negates a 4lb rise today and he is taken to go in again with Perceived perhaps best of the rest.
