None of these inspire much confidence and YUKON MISSION placed yet again when third at Pontefract recently. But that was her first start on Turf and there should be more to come on this surface. Sweet Pursuit will appreciate the return to slower ground while Chepstow runner-up Must Be An Angel drops down in trip for her handicap debut. Porto Ferro finished closer at Windsor last time and Eastern Star ran well at the same track earlier while Gilt Edge was due to run here yesterday.
