Divine Rule keeps threatening to get his head back in front without actually doing so while Missionaire's latest third came over 3f further. Fonterutoli, Automotive and Athletic are capable of making the frame if in the mood but preference is for recent Kempton winner LITMUS. She has the beating of My Scat Daddy and Fairy Mist on collateral form and can shrug off a penalty on the evidence of Wednesday's cosy two-length win.
