MOABIT will be a very short price for this but is impossible to oppose. Still green when getting off the mark at Exeter last week, he faces lesser opposition today and should comfortably defy his penalty as he looks the type to run up a sequence over the summer. Admiral Kid won a Fontwell bumper in February and is preferred to stablemate Courtlands Prince. He should make a hurdler but is unlikely to have the pace to trouble the selection on going this quick. Peruvien Bleu is a possible improver but none of the others make much appeal.
