The progressive Margaret's Mission has been raised a further 7lb and steps up in class in a bid to land a four-timer. ALFAJER (NAP) makes more appeal dropping down a grade as she finished behind a subsequent winner when fourth at Newmarket last time. Mambo Paradise went close in better company at Chester last week but is too unreliable to recommend with any confidence while Elizona looks to be treading water off her current mark. Panda Spirit should be capable of better this year and looks best of the rest.
