Covert Mission returns from a lay-off racing off the same mark as when winning at Lingfield back in April while La Rav has been in better form lately without threatening to win. Piffle wasn’t beaten that far despite finishing only sixth at Lingfield but WADACRE GRACE finished less than a length behind the winner when third at Chelmsford and may prove the one to side with. Jack Sparowe is the least exposed and could be in the mix.
