MOSCOW CALLING was clearly a disappointment for connections during his bumper and novice hurdling career but he relished the switch to three miles last time and proved his was on a lenient mark by threatening to land the spoils for the first time in his career. He can come on for that today and defy a four pound rise to notch up a first win. Touch of Steel is another who seems to be on a workable handicap mark following a string of disappointments, while Lochalsh is interesting stepped up to three miles for the first time. 1.
