Verdict
Moojaned has now won twice over course and distance after last week's all-the-way victory. He'll take some catching again if allowed an easy lead, despite his penalty, but Alshan Fajer and Fern Owl are fit from the all-weather and Jeremy Noseda's record here demands Le Notre is given a second glance in the betting. Stockhill Diva is tough and will no doubt pay her way again this year but ALL MY LOVE won here in October and was third on her reappearance on soft going at Doncaster so looks the one to be on. Instant Karma has also been successful over track and trip and Michael Bell's gelding won over hurdles last month and likes soft ground so should run well.
