DAWN MISSILE (NAP) is trying this trip for the first time but could outclass these if lasting home. He's 5lb lower than when only beaten a head over 1m6f at Haydock a year ago and hasn't been disgraced in his last two. Bertie Moon won at Nottingham and Yarmouth in August but flopped over hurdles last month. Flower Power steps up in distance and out of maiden company but has won over 2m4f over hurdles. Teak was quietly fancied at Ascot last time but is not the force of old and Stormin Tom turned in a shocker at Ayr. However, Gleese The Devil, Itlaaq and Odeon could all figure if on a going day.
