Going To The Moon has attracted market support on a couple of occasions this year and the recent Wolverhampton third must have some sort of chance in a race like this. Goblet Of Fire seeks a hat-trick in this grade and Twoforthegutter has been more consistent lately. Angel Of Peace also goes on the shortlist having placed the last twice but improvement is expected from ANTICIPATING now going handicapping as she’s a half-sister to three winners and should be well suited by this step up in trip. Fullforward can’t be ignored and neither can Salisbury winner Portoro.
