        Verdict

        Kealigolane won over 3m here last month but Barry Murtagh's grey is equally effective over this shorter distance. Mr Moonshine was an excellent third in the Becher Chase at Aintree last time and will be thereabouts if that hasn't taken too much out of him but VIVA COLONIA must also be a factor taking a huge drop in class having taken on Sire De Grugy and company in the Tingle Creek last month. A dual course and distance winner early last year, the top weight had Mr Moonshine behind when third in a Grade 2 at Aintree in the autumn and is only a pound worse off today. Upsilon Bleu looks the pick of Pauline Robson's two runners and rates a bigger danger than Quito Du Tresor and Bar De Ligne.
