MIZEN MASTER missed the whole of last year but has returned to action on the Flat in good form having won at Wolverhampton in September. He landed a selling hurdle at Fakenham when last in action under this code so Olly Murphy’s charge gets the vote. Mr Caffrey has a chance on these terms as he drops in class while Crystal Lad won a handicap at Huntingdon before reverting to his more usual poor form at the same track. Larch Hill and My Destiny were both well beaten in the same selling race at Stratford a fortnight ago but the latter gets a change of headgear.
