Formscan - BIG BLUE MOON was thwarted in his bid to land a quick-fire double when a close-up second at Chepstow in late-March, but compensation could await the gelding now tackling fences for the first time. Tom Lacey's strapping six-year-old looks the just the sort to excel in this sphere, with the step up in distance expected to suit too. Zestful Hope has chase experience to his name and may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Hot Rod Lincoln.
