PALE MOONLIGHT has shaped quite well on both outings this season and might prove the answer to this tricky finale. Former C&D scorer Wild Shot is respected on the back of his recent Down Royal fourth. French Company has been fairly consistent lately and should also have a part to play. Thefaithfulindian has been given a chance by the handicapper in this sphere and completes the shortlist.
