Verdict

Moveonup made all to win a lower grade contest over track and trip recently but the handicapper has taken a dim view and raised him 12lb. Green Door finished a long way in front of Warrior's Valley when successful at Lingfield and debuts on the surface while Moonraker has twice returned a losing favourite since scoring here in December and finished behind SAMOVAR on both occasions. The latter has subsequently placed in a higher grade sprint over course and distance and racing off a lower mark today, Scott Dixon’s charge may prove good enough.
