MAN ON A MISSION went down only to a well-handicapped sort at Southwell earlier in the month and might be worth siding with to go one better off the same mark. Toplight is more than capable of winning at this level and his latest C&D second was a step back in the right direction so he's feared most ahead of Michael Herrington's Glorious Charmer.
