Frankie Rapper found only the in-form Hepijeu too strong on his reappearance at Huntingdon but has been raised 5lb for that effort and this drop in distance may not be ideal. PERSHING MISSILE produced a couple of solid efforts in the spring and has had wind surgery since. He’s still lightly-raced and 2returns to action on a decent mark so gets the nod. Another returnee, Passam, has each-way claims while Quiz Master is almost guaranteed to run his race but still looks a few pounds too high. Discay may be best of the rest with Ablazing and Silent Encore having long absences to overcome.
