Stonecoldsoba won in this grade at Huntingdon but has a welter burden to shoulder. Placed in his last four, BAHAMA MOON has had a wind operation and should finally open his account over timber if the procedure has had the desired effect. Texan Nomad remains in decent form, however, and has a chance dropped a couple of pounds since his sixth at Huntingdon while Star of Rory was only headed on the run-in here in January.
