Guard The Moon (6/4), Harbour Lake (3/1), Magical King (5/1), Reverend Hubert (13/2), Willaston (9/1), Della Casa Lunga (16/1), Stolen Silver (25/1), Bold Endeavour (25/1), Slip Of The Tongue (100/1)

GUARD THE MOON is taken to defy the handicapper and complete a hat-trick, with the step back up in trip promising to see him in an even better light. Harbour Lake ran well in a couple of warm handicaps in the spring and might provide the main threat if resuming in similar form. Willaston and Magical King are others likely to have a say.
