Verdict

COOL MISSION has had plenty of entries lately so it may be significant if he finally makes it back on to the racecourse this evening. He gets the nod as he would have made short work of these in his heyday, though was pulled up following a lengthy absence at Bangor. Rumbury Grey was in danger of becoming disappointing before winning easily at Cheltenham but can't be ignored, despite conceding 8lb to the selection and 4lb to recent point-to-point winner What A Laugh. Keenan's Future is tried in a visor but appears on the downgrade nowadays.
