MIST THE BOAT was clear when falling at the last at Bangor. A 6lb rise in the weights looks harsh but these are a modest bunch and Tim Vaughan's charge is taken to finally open his account over timber. Airmen's Friend has the past form to figure while Phar Away Island was second over a longer trip at Sedgefield after a break and should be thereabouts. Easter Dancer could also play a part as she's lightly raced but Sapphire Moon has yet to show much over hurdles. Almadan may be the pick of the remainder.
