In depth

Verdict

Dual Star was making his debut for his new yard when all out to beat Jones Lad by a head here last time. While he may be capable of showing better, he is still a pound out of the handicap and is opposable. Moon Glow had been running reasonably consistently until pulled up here last time. He was never going well that day and is probably worth another chance. Riccarton put up a good show over hurdles here last time but looks very unconvincing over fences and the one to be on here could be top weight Noble Comic. He was disappointing when pulled up here last time but had shown some solid form prior to that and this looks to be a relatively easy task for him.
