Rajman won over 7f here in January and ran well again last time but has been done no favours drawn wide along with Shug. The latter sports first-time headgear after going close at Kempton and had earlier finished just in front of What Will Be when runner-up over track and trip. The latter may well reverse running on only his second outing of the year but IMAGE OF THE MOON should also be sharper for a recent comeback at Kempton. Shaun Keightley’s filly found only one too good on her handicap debut and gets a speculative vote in an open affair with Spirit Kingdom and Wall Of Sapphire others worth a second glance.
