Ross Moor just gets the verdict in a trappy little handicap, Kerayasi and Trifti may provide most danger. The selection returned to form on the turf last time out when chasing home Horseford Hill at Newmarket. He has also put in two solid efforts over course and distance back in May off slightly higher marks and so doesn't looks badly treated on his return to the all-weather. Kereyasi made a very pleasing British debut when a close up fourth to Colwyn Bay at Salisbury. The experience will have done him the world of good and he should be suited by the drop in trip. We are not sure what the correct trip is for Trifti but his turf run over eleven furlongs last month does give him place claims at least. Pothos Way is another to consider for the places, but Ross Moor does look the pick of the handicap this afternoon and he gets our vote.
