Verdict

An open finale in which the suggestion is MAXIMUM VELOCITY who shaped well when third on his handicap debut and had an excuse at Southwell last time. The drop to 7f should suit Space Moon and she's second choice ahead of Tickettothestars and James Owen's new recruit Castlekeely.

8	Much improved on reappearance/handicap debut when promising third of 12 over 7f at Newcastle. Things didn't really go his way at Southwell since and he's better judged on the Newcastle effort now back on turf. 1st Pick 8 Maximum Velocity (Ire) Jockey: Charles Bishop Trainer: Nigel Tinkler J: Charles Bishop T: Nigel Tinkler	100	-	-	-	7%

4	Close fifth of 9 on 1m Newcastle handicap debut 23 days ago, no extra late on as if the trip just stretched him. The drop to 7f looks a good move now tackling turf for the first time.
