Verdict
Nothing appeals as especially convincing but at least MOSAMBO houses scope for progression after just half a dozen starts over timber and has suggested she's steadily getting her act together. Definite improvement has emerged the last twice, notably when staying on eye-catchingly over 3m1f at Huntingdon last time. Another step forward would see the mare play a prominent role. Glencoum Lass pulled up on her return after a break but a case can be made on her behalf on previous efforts. Maybe the market will help to inform punters as to her chance. Wind Tor, Chasma and Havacuppa can also take a hand and are preferred in that order.
