Gypsy Whisper has been thereabouts over 7f here recently while Last Mission placed over the same trip at Wolverhampton. But LE REVEUR has improved for the application of blinkers and won over today’s distance at Chelmsford last time. He looks worth sticking with raised only 2lb for this as Publicist still looks high enough in the weights judged on a recent third at Newcastle. Takeonefortheteam returns to the all-weather with a chance and looks best of the rest.
