Formscan - Scarlet Moon is the most experienced over hurdles and might capitalise on dropping in class after being pitched into a Listed race at Musselburgh last time. However, he concedes 7lb to the potentially more progressive LOVE YOU BACK. Having adapted well to racing over timber, the Gary & Josh Moore-trained gelding could be hard to beat if building on a second at Newbury 10 days ago. Cloaks Of Gold resumes after wind surgery and is also noted.
