Formscan - Having finished lame on his right hind when fourth on his hurdles bow at Sedgefield in February, talented Flat performer Reach For The Moon shouldn't be judged too harshly on that defeat. However, the five-year-old will need to up his game to taste victory in this sphere and the experienced ITTACK BLUE rates a more solid proposition. The Dan Skelton-trained gelding opened his account over C&D earlier this month and he could defy a 7lb penalty if dictating the pace once more. Kopa Kilana may chase the duo home.
