Verdict

WOLF MOON has looked very promising in his three runs on sharp, flat tracks but there's a strong suspicion that he'll be seen in an even better light now switched to a more testing course and pitched into what promises to be a strongly-run handicap. The main danger may be John Barbour, who raised his game when chasing home stablemate Serious Challenge at Southwell where Sorceleur and Kientzheim were behind. That said, Serious Challenge and Sorceleur both merit a good deal of respect, too.

  1. WOLF MOON
  2. JOHN BARBOUR
  3. SERIOUS CHALLENGE (IRE)
