Verdict

This is almost as bad as the first division but Mogestic did win at Exeter in December, when subsequent Taunton second I'llhavealook was well beaten, before pulling up at Plumpton. MEXICAN BORDER left previous form behind when second at Taunton in November. He hasn't raced since but will surely go close if fully wound-up. My Diamond has hinted at ability but Tomsk and Whimsical Notion have something to prove today.
