Classic Mission hasn't really fired since a third at Goodwood in June and remains winless. Diamonds A Dancing has won twice here over a mile but is entering unknown territory over the extra quarter-mile and stamina could also be an issue with Rahmah. VERCINGETORIX only joined David Evans in the spring and is still acclimatising but he stays further than this and, dropped in grade today, can open his account for new connections.
