Verdict
Classic Mission passed the post first over track and trip last time but was disqualified for interference and placed second. He has still been raised 4lb for that and is also upped in class but SAINT HONORE drops down a grade after going close at Kempton. Pat Phelan's charge landed a double at this venue before that and is also preferred to Mary Le Bow, who has been running well over shorter trips. Prolific course winner Salient is back on a winning mark but Munsarim has yet to score over further than 1m2f and Percella's earlier victory at Leicester came in a seller.
