Verdict

MISSION CENTRAL was seen to good effect last time but it's hard to deny his claims of following up in the same grade. Recent course winner Keke is expected to make his presence felt upped in grade, while Likedbymike chased home the selection on latest outing and can be in the mix again.

Gained first success at 5f in 15-runner listed race (13/2) here (good) 20 days ago by ¾ length from Likedbymike.

2	Smart gelding. Seven wins from 21 runs. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this course (6f, good, 13/2) 20 days ago.

8	Useful filly who's proved better the ever this season. 28/1, very good ¾-length second of 15 to Mission Central in listed race over C&D (good) 20 days ago.
