Reivers Moon gets a tentative vote over the likes of Major Euro, Mixsterthetrixter and In Discussion to name but a few in a wide-open contest. In truth nothing stands out here too much, but Reivers Moon has been pretty consistent and can gain his first success since scoring at Musselburgh in February. He has been placed three times since then, and under regular partner Gary Berridge, is set to make his presence felt again off what looks a fair mark still. Major Euro was beaten six lengths by Mixsterthetrixter when they met here last time, but is now massively better off at the weights and should be capable of turning the tables on that rival at the very least. In Discussion was only a short-head in arrears as well and will be backed no doubt with Tony McCoy on board. Of The rest, Cobbet could cause a surprise if showing something like his best form, but Reivers Moon has more potential than most and should give you a good run for your money.
