MERSEA ISLAND (3) got off the mark over 2410m on penultimate start at Southwell. Just held when a head second under Jack Mitchell tackling the trip here nine-days-ago and is the one to beat. MOON SNIPER (5) opened his account with a head victory at Newcastle. Disappointed at the same venue next time then bounced back with a solid third at the course providing latest. Steps up in distance. Feared. CRACKERGEE (7) finished a close fifth behind the just mentioned last time when only 1.5L behind the winner. Firmly in the mix. PALACE BOY (2) returns from a lengthy absence representing a new yard. Two from two over course and distance. Interesting first-up.
