4.00 SOAPY STEVENS; 4.50 MOSELLE VALLEY (GER); 5.00 VITRUVE (FR); 7.00 OUT OF REASON; 8.00 EVALUATION; 10.00 REWIRED; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
SOAPY STEVENS put in a career best when finishing second on his handicap/seasonal debut over 1m4f at Doncaster last month and he merits plenty of respect off just 1lb higher today. Moselle Valley showed promise in novice company and she could go well on her handicap bow, especially as she may improve for the first-time application of cheekpieces. Evaluation caught the eye at Windsor last time and he edges out Rhebus Road and Rewired to be the pick of the remainder.
