Verdict

MOON RACER surely need only jump round to collect here. David Pipe's potentially top-class novice was a shade unlucky to lose his unbeaten bumper record at Punchestown and that was his first run since landing the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in 2015. One Style, second at Stratford and Chepstow in his last two starts, and Plumpton runner-up Welluptoscratch may be the pair to chase him home as Barman hasn't really shone in two runs for Nicky Henderson. Flat winner Deauville Dancer started with promise behind Winter Escape at Doncaster but was then well beaten at Catterick and is crying out for a step up in trip.
