Gary Moore's yard continues in excellent form and Bank On Him can take this moderate handicap from Montosari and Shape Up. The selection landed his first event on turf at nine years of age when beating Holly Rose in an apprentice handicap at Brighton last time. He won with quite a bit in hand on that occasion and could still be very well treated. Montosari will be a big threat to all if he can reproduce his Lingfield all-weather form on the turf. Shape Up is shaping up nicely this season and with the ground now in his favour he holds very strong claims. Of the remainder Diamond Orchid deserves to get his head in front after numerous placed efforts, however on this occasion we will give the vote to Bank On Him.
