Valley Of The Moon is nominated to take this contest, with Hawaii Prince and Compton Fields likely to give him most to do. After a disappointing debut at Thirsk, Hawaii Prince has stepped up on that with two good efforts since, recently finishing a good third to the useful Champery at Newcastle. He is going in the right direction and could be well treated with the yard going well. Compton Fields finished behind the high class Strategic Prince on his debut finishing eighth, but progressed to score at Warwick, getting up close home. He is clearly talented and can go well. Valley Of The Moon has shown good form in his last two starts, finishing a close fourth behind the useful Wi Dud at this track, before scoring at Catterick. He has a good chance of continuing that winning form here and Valley Of The Moon can score again.
