MOONLIGHTER is well treated and arrives on the back of a creditable run at Lingfield, so he makes most appeal for all that there are always slight reservations in regard to his jumping. Hermes du Gouet is unexposed and capable of better, while Skinflint shouldn't be dismissed returning to a track that suits him.
