Verdict

MOYLUSSA arrives on the back of a solid Cork effort, form boosted by the winner since, and looks well treated on that evidence now back in handicap company, with Shellrunforbriggs feared most after an encouraging return from 5 months off at Galway last time and Latopix respected now switched to chasing for a yard that excels in this sphere.

9	French bumper winner who has made the frame on 4 of her 7 hurdle starts for this yard, including in a 17-runner Navan handicap in September. Ran poorly upped in trip last time but no surprise were she to prove a different prospect now chasing, with cheekpieces replacing blinkers. 3rd Pick 9 Latopix (Fr) Jockey: D. J.
