PERFECT MOMENT has looked a mare going places here this season. She’s been hit with a massive 13lb rise but a hat-trick is on the cards against modest opposition. Somekindofstar has something to prove after pulling up on his return to action at Warwick but he’ll strip fitter today. Be My Sea was third at Leicester last month but Cougar Kid hasn’t been firing lately. Caro Des Flos and Fawsley Spirit are proving hard to win with.
