Unraced Pivotal gelding who cost 200,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to black-type performer Meer Kat and worth a check in the market on debut.
Beaten 12½ into seventh when making his debut over 1m at Newmarket (good-to-soft) in October and this drop in trip looks likely to suit today.
Finished runner-up on his seasonal debut and first run since being gelded over 6f at Kempton in March. Held in three outings since and similar looks likely here.
Well held in three starts so far and breeding suggests he is likely to prove better over further in time.
Unraced gelded son of Sixties Icon. Half-brother to Flat winner Desirable but probably best watched for a yard who's horses generally fair better in handicaps.
Unraced son of Famous Name purchased for 50,000 gns as a yearling. Dam beaten in one outing at Dundalk as a three-year-old and worth a check in the market here.
Unraced Zoffany colt bought for 170,000 gns as a two-year-old in April 2016. Dam had just two starts in France and worth a check in the market here.
Stepped up on his debut when finishing 2¼L second over 7f at Salisbury (firm) on his seasonal return last month. Likely to run well again in this contest.
Finished runner-up on both starts to date with both of those coming at Newmarket. Had a subsequent winner back in third on his return to action over 7f last time out and likely to prove hard to beat here.
Signs of ability in two outings over 1m on the AW at Kempton last November. This looks a stronger contest however and probably best watched today.
Beaten 1½L into fourth when making her debut over C&D here last month. Started a big price on that occasion and interesting to see if she can repeat that here.
Unraced daughter of Sayif. Dam an unraced daughter of Galileo and probably best watched on her racecourse debut in this.
Forecasts
Top Mission (6/5), See The Master (7/2), Almoreb (8/1), Addeybb (8/1), Highway One (12/1), Rigoletto (20/1), Bois D'ebene (20/1), Right About Now (20/1), Waitingforachance (50/1), Hisar (66/1), Mulsanne Chase (200/1), Mister Chow (200/1)
TOP MISSION can go one better than when finishing runner-up at Newmarket last month by registering his first success at the third time of asking here. The selection represents a yard with a 25% strike-rate recently (4/16) and he can get the better of See The Master who is another to have finished runner-up last time out, this time at Salisbury. Of the remainder Highway One ran well here on her debut while expensive purchases Addeybb and Rigoletto make their first appearances on the track today.
