Night Of Thunder filly who bagged a third success in 1m handicap at Lingfield and signed off for Simon & Ed Crisford with a very good third of 10 at Southwell (1m) later in November. Yet to replicate that level of form on turf or for current connections, though.
|
Enthusiastic front runner who lines up from a mark 1 lb lower than the one he defied at Southwell in January but ran no more than respectably when down the field at Beverley last time.
|
Signed off for Andrew Balding with C&D win in September. Hasn't really fired in 2 outings for new connections but was probably flying a bit too high when mid-division at this course last time, and no surprise to see him bounce back dropped in grade.
|
Free-going sort who showed improved form when making all over 7f at Haydock last summer. However, has pulled far too hard on both starts since, including on the back of a gelding operation on return. Tongue tie back on.
|
Landed a Fairyhouse claimer on final outing in Ireland and enhanced his form further on the all-weather for his new yard, winning back-to-back handicaps at up to 1m during the winter. Best effort since when 4 lengths fifth of 10 to Sticktoyourguns at Sandown last time.
|
Capitalised on a reduced mark in 7f handicap at Chester 19 days ago, beating King's School by 1¾ lengths. 5 lb rise looks manageable on past form and no reason to think he won't again prove very competitive.
|
Unbeaten in 3 starts on the all-weather, including first 2 starts this year. Raced a bit closer to the pace than ideal when mid-division in a stronger race back on turf at York last time, though new mark remains a concern.
|
Gained a deserved breakthrough success in C&D maiden last summer for Eve Johnson Houghton and stepped up on stable debut when 7½ lengths fifth of 8 to Assaranca in handicap at Lingfield last month.
|
Won maiden and handicap at Nottingham in 2025. However, has gone the wrong way this year, including when last of 10 on debut for this yard last time.
|
Confirmed earlier promise when off the mark at third attempt in a Lingfield novice (7f) in January. However, has been well beaten on all 3 starts since, including on turf last 2.

Forecasts
Northern Empire (5/1), Musical Angel (5/1), Padua (11/2), Utmost Good Faith (6/1), Bell Shot (6/1), Mission Command (7/1), Bella Perla (8/1), Sporting Light (17/2), Mystic Moment (20/1), Just Queen High (40/1)
MISSION COMMAND looked as good as ever when snapping a lengthy losing run at Chester earlier this month and is taken to defy a 5 lb rise. Musical Angel and Bell Shot rate the principal dangers if both put their best foot forward.
