Verdict

Having won on the level in May, A SHINING MOON looked to have the race won back hurdling at Hexham, only to be collared late. That performance suggests he's up to landing a race such as this, with Theonlywayiswessex and Colonel Lesley, on return for a new yard, feared most.

  1. A SHINING MOON (IRE)
  2. THEONLYWAYISWESSEX (FR)
  3. COLONEL LESLEY (IRE)
