OSCARS MOONSHINE (NAP) won again easily at Exeter on Tuesday. This will be a shade more difficult under a penalty but he appeals as the type with more to offer. Fubar doesn’t seem to find much off the bridle but could stick on into a place with a similar comment applying to Neil Mulholland’s pair Frau Georgia and Harbour Force. Especially So was a 66/1 winner at Warwick but a good run from the second, Perfect Predator, earlier on the card would boost her chances. Viva Vittoria wasn’t disgraced on her reappearance and she is lowered in grade here so could be the danger to the selection.
