Earth Moor is likely to be sent off market leader on the back of two solid bumper performances, latterly when an Exeter runner-up under the champion jockey on good ground. Johnson is on board once again and the Ask gelding will surely go close. Cardigan Bay is a potential improver for Charlie Longsdon but a chance is taken that TOP OF THE CHARTS is far better than he suggested when well beaten on debut last month. He was the subject of strong support that day, his yard have an excellent record in bumpers and he's worth another chance. Easter Rocket must receive a market check making his debut for one of the shrewdest yards around.
