Verdict

Mission Impossible is only a pound higher than when landing this 12 months ago but hasn't raced since the autumn and is best watched. AD VITAM (NAP) has the stand-out form in this having gone close at York last month. His previous runs, here and at Doncaster, were also respectable efforts and he can shrug off a slight rise in the weights. Ella's Delight was only beaten a neck at Thirsk last time and is probably the chief threat ahead of Munjally, Keene's Pointe and Orient Sky with Mac's Power seemingly more effective on the all-weather nowadays.
