Verdict

Successful at Navan on his penultimate start, MOLTOPHINO subsequently shaped very well when third over 5f here 3 weeks ago. The return to this trip will hold no fears and he could well be ready to strike again. Keke, last year's winner Unique Journey and Amiata head up the dangers, with Dark Ace another to consider in a highly-competitive handicap.
