Verdict

Just six runners head to post here but it is a terrific contest with Harelda Glory Quest and Moon Shot taken to fight out the finish, with the last named just getting the vote. Moon Shot has had his training problems but bounced back to somewhere very close to his best when easily disposing of Yorkie at Wolverhampton at the end of last month. Although he is an eight-year-old he is relatively lightly raced so is open to plenty of improvement and looks set to run up a sequence. Harelda is only a four-year-old and lost her maiden tag in weak race here last month, She did it in some style winning by fourteen lengths and so could be anything and rates a big threat to the selection. Glory Quest has been on the go all season but hasn't visited the winners enclosure since March last year, however his recent efforts at Wolverhampton suggest his time is not far away. In a fascinating event old timer Jamaican Flight can also be given a squeak, however we will take a chance on Moon Shot.
