MOON SKY caught the eye staying on well from an unpromising position when runner-up in a useful event (solid form) at Listowel on his debut in September, so he's well worth siding with to go one better over this slightly longer trip. Of the opposition, Master Haku is interesting making his first bumper start having shown clear promise in a brace of maiden hurdles at Cork, while Boycetown is sure to have a big say in proceedings if building on an encouraging Rules debut at Punchestown.
