Verdict
Michael's Missile scored over track and trip on her penultimate start but is 8lb higher for this while Goninodaethat was well behind Blue Sonic when the latter finally opened his account over 5f here last time. But it could be the turn of stablemate ROCK CANYON again in this as Linda Perratt's charge has slipped back down the weights since landing a course double in May. Perfect Words has also slid down the handicap this year having recorded a double at Catterick last season and could bounce back at any time.
