Verdict

WHITE MOON has impressed in both hurdles outings to date and he is taken to make a successful step up in class by taking this competitive looking Grade 2 novice hurdle. The selection hails from a stable who can boast a 20% strike-rate (7/35) of late and he can get the better of the penalised On The Blind Side who may find this trip on the sharp side while Springtown Lake, a likely winner prior to coming down in a handicap last time out can claim third.
