Mission Complete, second twice over fences recently, has never won off a mark this high and looks worth opposing again. Possol has been knocking on the door lately, however, and should be thereabouts again. He makes more appeal than Bold Tara, who had an entry at Worcester yesterday, and holds Dais Return on collateral form though the latter likes it here. Good ground saw CHILL FACTOR in a better light at Ffos Las and he has conditions in his favour again. He can defy an 8lb higher mark as American Life may need this and Con Forza hasn't gone close to shedding his maiden tag so far.
