A thorough stayer on the level, ANY GIVEN MOMENT was let down by his jumping when made favourite on his hurdling debut at Leicester. He's sure to have had plenty of schooling since, however, and is probably worth another chance over this longer trip receiving weight from the three previous winners. Some of Vivaldi's double penalty is offset by his rider's claim and he's been taking on better opposition in Ireland, but Warrior One has struggled in this grade in the past. Turf Trivia was beaten when falling in a handicap at Wetherby last month but George Moore's four-year-old probably needed that run and can do better. The others, however, appear to have something to prove.
