In depth

Verdict

Second at Warwick on his hurdles bow, Moonlight Flit had every chance when falling at the last subsequently at Ffos Las and his trainer should find a small race for him in the near future. Has Troke also had every chance when coming to grief at the last at Market Rasen while points winner Phantom Getaway is interesting after a pipe-opener in a bumper but the progressive BRIDGE NORTH would not need to improve much to go one better than when runner-up to the useful Green Book here last month.
