Mosman Park stepped up to 2m4f for the first time when successful at Listowel on Monday and looks better suited by that trip. Mashaal must improve on his latest run behind Saponara at Down Royal and is held by Spider Bob on that run. The latter is in good form and looks sure to make his presence felt though he could only finish third behind DAGGERS BOND at Cork subsequently and though the winner is up 4lbs for his victory he's been in excellent form on the flat and over timber and is probably still well enough treated to gain another success. Chew It Over looked quite promising when landing a Sligo maiden in October and will have been sharpened up by a run on the flat at Tramore last week.
