A first-time visor obviously did the trick for MISSING AGENT last week as he was beaten less than a length at Chepstow despite being badly impeded in the closing stages. The headgear remains in place and David Evans' charge can confirm running with fourth Gabrial The Boss with normal luck in-running. Ottauquechee was a further four lengths behind at Chepstow and looks up against it but handicap debutants Alpine Jerry and Pink Mischief are worth noting. Cromwell Rose had a below-par Strawberry Duck well behind when second in a seller last week but this is tougher.
