Misfits is consistent but returns from a break on a high enough mark. Pads will probably find at least one too good again and Viscount Wilson is 0-25 in career starts and hasn’t been getting any closer. Pinspot is the likely pace angle but a strong gallop would suit CHOCOLAT NOIR, who has only won on good ground at Cartmel so far but does handle softer conditions. The maiden Imperial Elysian is another runner today who was engaged here yesterday.
