MOVES GOODENOUGH, the winner of an amateur riders contest at Salisbury last week can land this; another recent winner Top Jaro and Rossini's Dancer could emerge as the biggest dangers. The selection benefited from a confident ride from his capable rider last time but even so, won in such convincing style that a 6lb penalty leaves him looking leniently treated, given the fact he has been rated much higher to this in the past. Top Jaro, the winner of a seller and claimer on his last two starts faces a tougher task conceding weight all round here while Rossini¿s Dancer finally broke his maiden tag at the fifteenth attempt last time. The fast pace which should materialise will suit him given his hold up style. Ours and Tanforan are others to consider but Moves Goodenough is the pick.
