Bond Spirit won one of these events at Southwell a week ago and is penalised as a consequence. But MOON OVER THE SEA escapes a penalty for his victory at Wolverhampton when scoring on his debut for Tony Carroll and there should also be more to come over today’s trip. Bass Strait is another recent winner but that was over the longer 2m trip here and Savoy Brown is preferred.
