Verdict
MOOSE MORAN left behind a disappointing debut at Sandown when easing to a comfortable victory at Doncaster nine days ago. He still holds an entry in the Triumph Hurdle so it will be a surprise if Nicky Henderson's grey doesn't follow up here under a penalty against largely exposed opposition. Two Kisses won at Bangor and Newton Abbot last summer but has had her limitations exposed in better company since, though should make the frame again here under AP McCoy. Omaruru looks the pick of the remainder, though again he looked very one-paced when third at Fontwell last month.
