Formscan - Moroder came on appreciably for his reappearance run last season before racking up a four-timer and may be worth taking on now having his first run of this campaign. FOXBORO stayed on well to win at Fontwell earlier in the month after momentarily looking outpaced over the extended 2m5f trip. The Robert Walford-trained gelding may travel kinder over this longer distance and, with improvement looking a distinct possibility, he gets the vote. Last-time-out winners Laskalin, Tallow For Coal and Certainly Red can't be discounted.
