Verdict
Destiny's Gold was second dropped to this grade at Stratford in October. Bohemian Rhapsody and Rathealy both have their sights lowered today and could figure but Moss Street was soon struggling over further here last time and eventually finished behind Berry De Carjac. Right Madam is 6lb better off than when beaten just over five lengths behind TRAPPER PEAK here 10 days ago but we’ll stick with Alex Dunn’s charge as he at least knows where the winning post is.
