        Verdict

        After improving from a debut run to find just one too good last time MISSILE COMMAND gets the vote in a maiden that shouldn't take much winning. William Haggas' charge was only headed late on the latest of his runs so with this step down in trip looking the right move he should go one better. Crystallus has improved in three runs so with Ann Duffield's runners still in good nick should run a big race again and if running up to her mark has a clear chance. Silk Bounty and Mr Optimistic both don't have much to find on the figures but are vulnerable to any improvers.
