Blooriedotcom had to overcome trouble in running at Haydock last time but prevailed by a neck. He’s 6lb higher today while The Throstles has been upped 7lb for winning over track and trip though he did beat a subsequent winner. But MOVING FORWARD has the more scope and having placed over 1m2f at Windsor last time, the Godolphin representative is taken to make a winning start in handicaps. Blue Harmony has slipped down the weights since the start of the year and showed signs of a return to form last time.
