Summer Moon has looked high enough in the weights since landing a double back in May and stablemate Fraser Island finished behind State Of Affair when the latter won over 1m4f at Haydock. But this is a tougher contest and Just Hubert is also upped in class and distance after scoring at Ripon. Buckman Tavern will be sharper for last month’s reappearance at Doncaster but this longer trip will suit maiden winner SPACE WALK, who made all over 1m4f at Haydock last time with further progress expected from the Haggas colt now handicapping.
