Verdict
THE BITTER MOOSE took a big step back in the right direction when runner-up over C&D last time and is well handicapped if able to build on that. On Edge was only narrowly behind the selection on that occasion and should go well again, while Monsieur Patat is another who arrives at the top of his game.
