PERFECT MISSION has been in good form over 7f of late and today's longer trip is no problem. Just 4lb higher than his latest win, Andrew Balding's charge should have the measure of Juvenal. The latter is less likely to appreciate the mile trip after a couple of placed efforts over further while Poetic Lord has to race off a higher mark back on the all-weather and Standpoint has completely lost his form having rattled up a hat-trick during the summer. Dana's Present won a novelty race at Doncaster last time and recent Wolverhampton winner Dimitar makes more appeal.
