In depth

Verdict

Moonlight Fantasy is probably the safest option in this opener, Prince Noel and Lewis Lloyd could be the main dangers. David Barron's charge has returned to form recently, with two solid efforts at Ripon and Newcastle. The last run was in this grade but it looked a slightly stronger contest and he should go close this afternoon. Lewis Lloyd wasn't beaten far in a claimer last time out and has gone well here in the past. Prince Noel is well in here on official ratings and drops into selling company for the first time. Leprechaun's Gold is dropping back in trip and is another to consider for the places. However unlike a lot of these Moonlight fantasy is running well at present and he gets our vote.
