In depth

Verdict

This is not as daunting as it looks on paper and Moscow Leader, who won in fine style at Kelso earlier in the week, is fancied to carry his 7lb penalty without too many problems in this company. Paphian Bay, Sir Homo and Now Then Sid are others who have to be considered and will make this a good test for the Richard Guest-trained selection. However, the son of Moscow Society travelled smoothly for Larry McGrath at Kelso and was accurate when meeting his hurdles, which created the impression that there are more races to be won with him. And Moscow Leader can start here if all goes to plan.
