SKY MYSTIC didn't show much last season but reappeared with a very good effort over 1m3f here before losing his maiden tag at the 13th time of asking earlier this month. He's been raised just 4lbs for beating today's rival Accompanist that day which seems fair and he has more scope than the runner-up. Crusoe's Return was keeping on stoutly when a close third to Time Travel over the C&D two weeks ago but may prefer a slightly longer trip. Night Spark has run twice on this track scoring over 1m3f and finishing runner-up over the distance. He's also won over hurdles and looks a threat along with Charminamix, who began the last campaign off an 8lbs higher mark and ran some fair races.
