      Verdict

      MOONRAKER is turned out quickly under a penalty for winning here at the end of last week. But Mick Appleby’s sprinter won this race last year off the same mark and is taken to confirm latest running with Samovar. The latter disappointed on that occasion having missed the break and better is expected from him but Foolaad finished well behind the selection here earlier last month. Hart Stopper has done all his winning over 6f so far and stable companion Shamshon is preferred over this minimum trip though the less exposed Spirited Guest looks a bigger threat if handling the surface. The selection’s stablemate Airshow is another racing on the Fibresand for the first time.
