Mishko was sent off favourite at Chelmsford on his first start since 2014 and duly obliged. He’s been raised 4lb for that and is upped in class. But WAITING FOR RICHIE can race off the same mark as when beaten a length over track and trip on his reappearance and Tom Tate’s charge gets the nod dropping down a grade. The veteran Hallstatt ran well at Nottingham attempting to repeat his earlier success at Wolverhampton while Lady Natasha was runner-up over today’s trip at Redcar on last year’s handicap debut and should be winning this season on that evidence.
