There was lots to like about MOONY BEAMS debut run here 4 weeks ago and he should take a bit of stopping if making the anticipated improvement. The slightly longer trip will play to the strengths of Aidan O'Brien's Pimlico and he looks the obvious danger unless the betting speaks strongly in the favour of one of the Joseph O'Brien newcomers.
