MISU PETE has a shout in a low grade cavalry charge. He's gone close the last twice now while Clement finished ahead of Grand Proposal when third at Kempton last time and is preferred to recent Southwell runner-up Beggers Luck. Stamp Of Approval and Deacon's Lady are both unexposed and capable of better and the unreliable Chandrayaan went close over track and trip in between a couple of his more usual modest efforts.
