Stromboli finished runner-up Ripon when back in maiden company while Musical Mystery has been put up 3lb without winning though better luck may well have seen him do so at Windsor last time. But IDEAL GUEST should get the fast ground he relishes and the dual Brighton scorer can atone for a surprise defeat at Epsom. Misscall has gone close on two recent spins at the track and could provide a big day for her inexperienced apprentice.
