Mission Approved continues to perform with great credit off tough marks and must surely find a race soon but TAGULA NIGHT could prove a viable alternative for a Dean Ivory yard that has definitely started to find some promising form of late. He received a far from troublefree passage in a competitive Sandown handicap last time yet was only beaten a couple of lengths despite finishing eighth of 15. Adam Kirby is a good booking and trip and ground are fine too. Noverre To Go has claims but Polybius, not beaten at all far here last time, could be the one to improve considerably off what looks a decent mark for the unexposed Lanigan course and distance winner on just his fourth start.
