Mistrix placed again last time while Touchwood went close at Leicester. Above It All finished runner-up at Ffos Las while Cashew found only one too good over 6f at Wolverhampton. Under The Twilight and Melodramatica are not easily dismissed either but, in something of a lottery, the vote goes to OP IT. The latter looks up to winning off his current mark having been beaten only a neck at Newbury and has more scope than most of these.
