Verdict
Home Before Dusk won over 1m2f here last month and Insurplus scored over 7f at the track on his latest start. Both have won over course and distance in the past and are preferred to Kempton runner-up Toro Dorado. Cameo Star has been thereabouts in lower grade contests lately but FIERY MISSION has the most scope of these now handicapping for the first time and given Sir Michael Stoute’s impressive strike rate here, he gets the nod to open his account.
