Race preview
Crucial Moment showed a completely different level of form altogether when winning a juvenile hurdle in easy fashion and that performance could bring about a better effort now back on the level. Tojosimbre won in a selling handicap at Brighton last time and has to go close once again, but preference is for handicap debutant ARTIC NEL, who looks capable of improving plenty stepped up markedly in trip.
