Verdict
The Haggas yard is ending the year in fine form and MOOSMEE beat a subsequent winner at Nottingham last month. That looks stronger form than I'm Watching You’s placed effort here and he’s taken to defy a penalty. Gossip and Kingmans Spirit are likely improvers and preferred to the remainder with experience while Arbiter makes most appeal of the newcomers given he’s a half-brother to seven winners, including stablemate and Group 1 winner Coronet. Blake's Vision and Shine On Brendan are others to note.
