FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MOVING can improve for a step up in trip and win this ordinary handicap. A grandson of Phoenix Stakes winner Eva Luna, 4yo MOVING has run in four sprints thus far but shaped with some promise over 5f at Navan last month and with the step up to a mile expected to bring about improvement, can win from his lowly 55 rating. Ottawa Fire has his first start for Johnny Murtagh and showed ability in three Dundalk maidens last winter for Eddie Linehan. He meets contrasting ground today but is open to some improvement stepping into handicaps. Miss Adventurous was well beaten in two maiden hurdles last month but is race-fit and ran well when second at the Curragh on her latest flat start in November. Kew Palace, by Kingman and an 18,000gns purchase last November from The Queen, showed form last year but her yard's stable jockey Chris Hayes rides Miss Adventurous in the race. Jack Berry House is a three-time all-weather winner who might ideally prefer a sound surface.
