Verdict
Fly Home Harry defied a winner’s penalty to land this for Alan Swinbank in 2013 and the trainer attempts to repeat that feat with MOONSHINE RIDGE. The latter won at Musselburgh last month and should have enough to hold off the expected challenge of Final Fling, a well-beaten third at Carlisle on his debut. Oak Vintage has been placed in point-to-points while Mcgregor's Cottage is a half-sister to a bumper winner and preferred to fellow newcomer Cadellin.
