Harry Whittington's training career to date has been one of pleasing progress and the yard can take the finale with SPORTING MILAN, a game winner over course and distance latest and expected to progress again after only three hurdling starts. The jury remains out as to whether Pretty Rose stays this far and King's Song makes more appeal as shortlist material on the back of a couple of respectable efforts and with no stamina concerns. Bishop Wulstan was in action on the Flat earlier this week but still seems to be struggling for real form and the fascinating one is Mr Moss who has joined the Skelton yard at the age of 11. Apparently on the downgrade for some time now, he was a talented sort over fences and hurdles at his best for Evan Williams and it will be intriguing to see if Dan Skelton can weave some magic with him despite advancing years. Watch him in the market.
