MISCHIEF MANAGED (NAP) has returned to action in fine form and finished in front of Grey Destiny when winning at Ayr last time. Tim Easterby’s charge scored over track and trip before that when beating a subsequent winner and that form gives him the beating of both Chetan and Red Gunner. Robben Rainbow ran well when last competing at this venue but Showdance Kid won at Chelmsford in April and looks a bigger threat despite a 3lb higher mark.
