It was soft going when Judicial Law won at Ludlow in February and he’s been raised 7lb but RIVER BRAY (NAP) took advantage of a slide down the weights when scoring over a shorter trip here last time. He remains on a winning mark despite a 3lb rise and can go in again. Neon Moon has won two of his last three outings though is upped in class along with Ludlow runner-up Equus Millar while Ecco is fitted with blinkers after a poor effort on the Flat.
