Verdict
HALO MOON (NAP) has obvious claims given he romped home at Fakenham last week. Eased right down in the closing stages, a penalty looks unlikely to prevent him going in again if in a similar mood. What A Dream had little chance behind Lord Wishes last time but had landed a double at Ayr before that while Nakadam has won over fences in France but has yet to figure for a new yard. Under The Red Sky finished a lot closer last time and Oil Burner continues to slide down the weights.
