MYSTERIAL landed a double with victory at Newcastle last time and can confirm running with third-placed Heavenly River and also beat Iftikaar, facing a tougher task after landing a claimer at Redcar. Irish raider Clifton Miss makes more appeal on her earlier fourth at Fairyhouse and Hero's Story finished ahead of Moon Arc when fourth here last month and the latter has subsequently run well for second at Carlisle. Henpecked won over course and distance last year off a higher mark and could also figure.
