Gained most recent win over C&D last August when with Stuart Williams; however, brings a doubt over current form, having trailed home last (eased once held) in big field at York on stable/seasonal debut.

Form & Verdict
Promise as a 2yo and again on his seasonal/handicap debut at Kempton in April; no progress since, including on his first run for Mick Appleby at Nottingham last month; has the raw ability to win a race of this nature but he is in danger of becoming disappointing.

Podium finishes on all three 2yo novice starts for Mark Rimell, almost holding on at Redcar (6f, good; bumped late); yet to scale those heights in handicaps this term despite starting off on a tolerable mark, traffic not costing him a win latest; hopes rest with change of scenery since.

Night Mission

9st 6lb

J: Clifford Lee

T: Mark Rimell

Second or third in his three runs in 2yo novice events (all 6f, good ground or slower); unplaced in two 6f handicaps this year but he drops in class today and his pedigree strongly suggests stepping up to 7f will help; finished behind Dublin Bay at Ascot last time but was racing away from the main action; well drawn and a return to more positive tactics could see him run a big race.

Form & Verdict
The winner of two small-fileld 5f nurseries for Archie Watson last season, one of them at this track; the handicapper has been on top so far this year and a full revival is required.

Lightly raced 3yo who won two nurseries last year and is below his last winning mark; Windsor last month was a step back in the right direction but he needs another today if he's to be a serious force.

Now 1lb lower than for his Chelmsford win (7f, AW) last summer and he showed signs of a revival when fourth of ten over C&D (33-1) two weeks ago; ties in with Rebel Path on that form and he's not ruled out with cheekpieces added.

J: Thomas Greatrex

T: Warren Greatrex

Unexposed 3yo who returned after a year off with a promising second in a Nottingham novice (5f, good to firm; first run after wind surgery) three weeks ago; flashed her tail in that race but it's still early days and she needs a close look on handicap debut.

6/1

Betting Forcast

8/1 Royal Accord, Diamondinthedark, 5/1 Night Mission, 16/1 Campenaerts, 20/1 Bellagio Man, 6/1 Guernsey Angel, 6/1 Currahee, 10/1 Alshimali, 16/1 Miracleoftheandes

Verdict

Royal Accord (second choice) hinted that he might be on the way back at Newmarket on Saturday, keeping on steadily away from the main action, and he is respected now dropping in grade. The return to AW could help Guernsey Angel but this looks good for DIAMONDINTHEDARK (nap). A C&D winner as a 2yo, she was narrowly denied at Ffos Las this month and that form has been boosted by the winner.[Paul Smith]
