In depth

Verdict

A most uninspiring closer from a betting point of view as Homeleigh Mooncoin should prove too strong for inferior rivals but will be a prohibitive price to prevail. Lucy Wadham's charge has shown steady progress to land a maiden before landing a novice event over 2m5f here last month and looks sure to appreciate the longer trip. Steppes lifted a weak affair last time but still rates the TEAMtalk forecast selection ahead of the disappointing Tomich.
