DAWN MISSILE continued on his upward curve with a win over 1m4f at Goodwood in June. He is worth sticking with in this company and the Haggas charge can go in again. Making Shapes ran a shocker on his handicap debut and The Lampo Genie has failed to figure since winning over track and trip in April. Joshua Potman went close to losing his maiden tag at Wolverhampton last time while Lucie Rie failed to win in Ireland and has her first start for a new yard today.
