Covert Mission has been in good form over 7f here but has something to prove over today’s trip judged on an earlier attempt. Calin's Lad won when last racing over track and trip and is only 2lb higher while Calonne was successful at Wolverhampton last time and Mabre slides further down the weights. But RESCUERDAME landed an easier contest over course and distance a fortnight ago but remains on a winning mark despite a 3lb rise and another bold bid is expected now he’s got his head back in front.
