        Verdict

        Moi Moi Moi, Lightoller and Bismarck The Flyer are interesting on paper, especially the last-named as apparent Hannon second strings often out-perform their odds. All three should be noted in the market. The two form contenders arrive with identical profiles in the form of MR HOBBS and Northern Thunder with the former edging the vote. He was arguably a little disappointing when runner-up to Jacquard at Wolverhampton but his previous two starts, both on turf, read as the best form on offer, notably when just failing to repel the challenge of Hellofahaste at Salisbury last month. Northern Thunder is sure to be thereabouts and the return to a sixth furlong should aid his cause whilst Kings Heart, below par last time, would also be of interest if back to the level of a promising Newmarket debut.
