MOONAMACAROONA has yet to strike over hurdles, but she posted her best effort yet when runner-up in a C&D handicap last time and is taken to go one better. The unbeaten Corey's Courage remains with potential and is an obvious danger, but she'll need to be pretty useful to get the better of the selection under a double penalty. Nextdoortoalice will ensure that this is by no means a two-horse race.
