PEACE MISSION (NAP) has only won once in 20 starts but very nearly doubled her tally when just failing to hold Chicago School over 6f here last week. She'd taken the lead inside the final furlong and, though 2lb higher, is still very well handicapped on her best form. Regular course winner Your Pal Tal was only just behind after finishing strongly but he's better over that trip these days. Pillar has a strike-rate of 1-39 and that victory was gained on Turf. But he's been placed in six of his 14 starts here so is no forlorn hope to finally come good on the surface. Jonny Levins also runs Eleuthera, who won twice on all-weather tracks in the UK and completed a double on Turf in the summer though is taking a big drop in distance. Catwilldo should be capable of winning races over the winter from this sort of mark while Spartan's Queen has been showing good pace over further.
