MOONSHINER only won by a head at Yarmouth but is better off at the weights than when beaten by Red Walls at Wolverhampton in the spring with Lisa Williamson’s charge, held by Morty on their run together here last month, much better on the all-weather. Bama Lama escapes a penalty for a win at Windsor on Monday and William carver can utilise his claim in this but the ground was bottomless that night and the form is best taken with a pinch of salt.
