Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to MOONSET, who has clearly been hard to get to the track but made a winning return at Market Rasen last month and is open to further progress now heading up in trip on handicap bow. Yet to finish out of the places over hurdles for this trainer, Coconut Twist heads up the opposition arriving in the form of his life, while Barricane and Copshill Lad can fight out third.
