Mr Mischief gets the confident vote in this seller with Rudry World and Tedstale rating the main dangers. The selection is well clear on official bhb figures and ran well after a long absence to be second behind al Moutham, he looks sure to have come on for that run and in what looks an easier race he will be hard to beat. Rudry World rates the main danger as he won well in similar grade last time out, however that race was only four days ago and this may come too quick for him. Tedstale is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is becoming hard to win with. Of the remainder Starcross Maid,loves it round here and could go well at a price but her overall profile leaves her with plenty to find with the principals and for the winner we return to Mr Mischief.
