Verdict
The task of trying to find the winner of this is summed up nicely by the aptly-named Mission Impossible. He has a penalty for his recent victory over 5f here, while Here Now And Why has gone up 6lb after ending a two-year drought at Hamilton a fortnight ago. Winning Draw went close at Redcar last time, but a 5lb rise for finishing second seems a bit harsh so a tentative vote goes to MUCKY MOLLY. She just failed to catch the winner on her handicap debut at Chepstow a week ago and is open to plenty of improvement. Inca Blue could prove best of the remainder.
