Verdict
Some totally unexposed sorts towards the foot of the weights could emerge as improvers in this weak handicap with Miss Paris and Buxlow Belle obvious examples. The likes of Voluminous and Star Of Assisi have shown a level of ability which could make them competitive but it's the two form horses who represent the safest way to go. Special Mission hasn't been beaten at all far on her last two starts, both on the all-weather, and her shrewd handler seems sure to eke a win out of her sooner or later. First-time blinkers are now applied. However, ENCRYPTION has looked a steady improver this term and his recent second on Town Moor to Contrebasse makes him the one to be with.
