Form & Verdict
Much improved this spring, having been gelded, since upped in trip on the AW; only won by a neck at Kempton last week and isn't obviously well-in under a penalty but she shows a good attitude and the longer trip should be fine on pedigree.

Scarlet Moon

9st 11lb

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Archie Watson

The last of four Flat wins was over this trip at Sandown last summer (good; 5lb lower); has since racked up a solid sequence over hurdles; in form, consistent and respected.

J: Ben Poste

T: Archie Watson

Useful four-time Flat winner at up to 1m6f; the penalty contributed to his undoing at Stratford last time (2m2f, soft) but he's proving consistent over hurdles and won't mind getting back on less testing ground; can lead.

J: Ben Poste

T: Archie Watson

Won four times on the Flat up to 1m6f and got off the mark over hurdles on his second start at Warwick (2m, good) in November; has continued to run well since, running his best race when third in a Listed contest at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in January; should have no issues with the step up in trip and sets the standard.

3 yo Gelding

OR: 68

Form & Verdict
Better as he's gained experience and gone up in distance, culminating in a second over 1m4f here on his comeback early last month; should be competitive off this sort of mark now handicapping under Billy Loughnane, who's 4-16 for the yard.

Runner-up in four of his five races, latterly in a small field on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m6f); this is deeper but can win a race off this mark and cheekpieces now go on.

Form & Verdict
First below-par effort since handicapping in first-time cheekpieces a month ago (headgear given another go despite that blip); had earlier just been edged out of it round here and shapes as though tonight's longer trip will be within range.

1m2f win at Newcastle last October came off 3lb lower; three heavy defeats this year, including tried in cheekpieces at Ayr three weeks ago; down in trip and class with new blinkers added; a revival wouldn't be a total bolt from the blue.
