        Verdict

        Moonraker is best on Fibresand but Equiano Springs is a three-times course winner and Oriental Lilly and Athollblair Boy are others who thrive on this surface. Outrage won over track and trip last month but has little in hand on third Equitation on the revised terms. DANZAN was having a first run over 5f when behind Moonraker last time at Southwell and should be a different proposition on this much quicker surface. A smart juvenile, he won twice as a three-year-old at Chelmsford and still has time on his side. Visionary is not short of speed but may just need this.
