Verdict
MOSS TUCKER, twice a winner here, was conceding Chocquinto 19lb when beaten narrowly over track and trip last month before scoring at Fairyhouse then running a cracker in a major handicap at the Curragh on Sunday when Shelly Banks was behind. He should have no problems reversing the form and looks the one to beat. Verhoyen, who also ran at the Curragh over the weekend, made all to score over 7f there last month but could find a couple of these too sharp. Cork maiden winner Quarantine Dreams, a stablemate of the selection, has been racing in much stronger company and found the going too fast in the Wokingham at Ascot while Funchal posted a fast time on her debut at Cork and could be anything.
