The concern is time. Moorefields hasn't raced in over 500 days — more than 16 months away from the track is a long layoff for any horse, and comebacks are unpredictable. When the horse did race regularly, it finished in the top 3 on three occasions outside of that Exeter win, so there's evidence of consistency, but that recent form line (9th, 6th, 3rd, 3rd, 1st, working backwards from the most recent) shows variable displays rather than steady improvement.
Bryan Carver has been the regular rider, partnering Moorefields six times with a win between them. Trainer Chris Down's yard has managed three winners this season, which is modest output and suggests this isn't a high-volume operation. If Moorefields does return to racing, it will need to shake off the ring rust — 16 months is a long time to be away, and even horses with proven form at Class 4 can struggle after such a break.
