All of these step up in trip including HAALAND, who scored at over 1m2f at Lingfield earlier in the week. There looks more to come over this extra distance and he’s taken to confirm running with runner-up and disappointing favourite Aesthetic despite the worse terms. Gilded Moon may prove the biggest danger with today’s trip likely to suit the Wolverhampton third, who had the measure of Spider Murphy last time, while Maureen's Lass may prove best of the rest.
