LUNAR LANDSCAPE can send his backers into orbit by landing the Follow @betVictor On Twitter Handicap (9.00) at Newbury on Thursday evening.
Although Eve Johnson Houghton’s son of Sea The Moon ran a promising debut fourth at Kempton in October, he didn’t match that form in two subsequent visits to Sunbury, including when 10th of 14th to Merlin The Wizard in a seven-furlong novice stakes at the start of last month.
The British Horseracing Authority handicapper gave Lunar Landscape a rating of 65 as a result, and Charlie Bishop’s mount had his first start in the sphere - and on turf - at Salisbury eight days ago.
He didn’t get the rub of the green in coming home in fifth behind Racing Demon, coming from the back in a race in which it paid to be handy and finding his path blocked not once but twice when attempting to make his ground.

At Yarmouth, AREILLE, a close third over six furlongs at the track on her latest start, should profit for the return to seven furlongs as she locks horns with nine rivals for the Quinnbet Second To The Favourite Handicap (4.30).
