MOULIN ROUGE was well backed at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day having got off the mark at the same track earlier this month. He was only beaten a neck and, as he races off the same mark today, should be capable of picking up the winning thread again. Tom Marquand steered Youm Jamil into second place in a hands and heels race at Kempton two weeks ago and the partnership has place claims again while Kolonel Kirkup can't get much lower in the weights and appears to have his best chance for a while under George Baker. Top Set could also go well and a recent run will have benefited Young Jackie.
