Pablo Del Pueblo had the measure of Man On A Mission over track and trip last time and the latter had earlier beaten Nordic Glory and a couple of subsequent winners in Mick's Spirit and Storm Melody here. Lynns Boy is another recent winner having scored at Wolverhampton but it could the turn of BEZZAS LAD today as he placed in a tougher sprint when attempting to make all at Chelmsford and may well prevail in this lower grade.
