Moveonup remains 6lb higher than when winning here last month but had earlier finished behind Red Stripes at the track. The latter has subsequently placed back here when YOUNG TIGER finished runner-up and it’s Tom Tate’s charge that gets the vote to put a frustrating run off placed efforts behind him and get his head back in front. Big Time Maybe also has a bit to find with the selection but Green Door could be in the mix if taking to the surface having won three times elsewhere on the all-weather.
