MISU PETE, an old hand at this game, gave today's partner an effortless success when cantering home unchallenged over this trip at Newbury in mid-July. He subsequently produced another excellent run when inched out at Wolverhampton and is taken to return to winning ways here back on Turf, despite a hefty hike in the weights. Crystal Casque was 13 lengths behind the selection at Newbury but is 9lb better off now and arguably was not at her best that day. She should be closer here and represents the main danger. The Groove continues to run his race and should be in the mix and Punjab Mail is also of interest as he rates the one likely improver on show.
