Verdict
MOSSGO went close at Lingfield last week and can race off the same mark. He's one of several with decent claims including Secret Asset, a runner-up at Bath recently, while Pearl Noir is only 2lb higher than when landing a double in August with a win at Beverley. Belvoir Diva returned a losing favourite at Kempton earlier in the month and Bahamian Sunrise finished ahead of Innocently at Wolverhampton last time though failed to trouble the winner. Prince Connoisseur has the form in Ireland to figure if back to his best.
