Moonraker took a step in the right direction when fourth over C&D last time, and there is little to choose between him and third-placed Samovar on revised terms. Both are respected, but YOUNG TIGER is positively thriving at present, running better then ever when second at Newcastle last time, and he can make it three wins from four starts over C&D, despite stepping up in class.
