8/1
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.

5/1
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.

7/1
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)

Verdict

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.
