Verdict

COVERT MISSION is taken to translate his improved form on the all-weather over to this surface. He’s won twice at Kempton this year and beat a subsequent winner last time. Latent Heat won at Lingfield in February but Kenstone’s victory at Wolverhampton came in a seller. Helluvaboy ended last year with a success over 7f but Granary Queen also steps up in trip on her reappearance.
