    Verdict

    Not To Be Missed can win a moderate affair, with the likes of Cashel Dancer, Bentyheath Lane and Secret's Out others to consider. This is definitely a small-stakes scenario, with so many under-achievers in the line-up, but Not To Be Missed at least only found one too good at Stratford last time. He would have been giving the winner weight in a handicap however, so is not one to go overboard about. Cashel Dancer has to concede weight all round due to opening her account here under Tony McCoy in June when she was allowed to make all. Beaten twice since, she has the champion back on board today so will be a popular choice. Bentyheath Lane is still searching for his first win but shaped well enough at Bangor in August. Not well enough to support here though, and in a poor event, Not To Be Missed, although unlikely to live up to his name most of the time, might scrape in here.
