MOONRAKER is still 5lb higher than when winning at Ascot on his reappearance but won off a 5lb higher mark on Fibresand in August and led for a long way last time in a better race than this. Airglow beat Glamorous Rocket on worse terms at Chepstow in August and will appreciate the drop back to 5f – he can reverse Thirsk form with Our Little Pony. Bashiba has been knocking on the door again lately but would not want the going to become too testing. Hawaam and Suwaan may be worth opposing back on Turf but Show Palace is well treated nowadays and Come On Dave could also figure along with Wiley Post.
