MOSCATO is a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver and won a higher grade contest over track and trip last week. He can shrug off a penalty to land the hat-trick. Beat The Shower won at Pontefract in August when beating Precision Strike but Arcamante's recent second over 1m6f at Sandown looks stronger form and the latter can figure. Wor Lass was narrowly beaten over course and distance earlier this month, with My Escapade behind, and Jan Smuts scored over track and trip off today's mark back in May so also warrants attention.
