Plenty of these have questions to answer but not so MISFITS, last week's C&D second. A winner here over fences in October, he was just collared late on seven days ago, the front two having cleared away. He's off the same mark now and compensation may await. The danger is Towerburn, much-improved of late and well worth another try over this extended trip having won well here last month before finishing second under a 9lb ratings-hike last week over 2m4f. He, too, is running from an unchanged mark today. The likes of Turtle Cask, Achill Road Boy, Agent Louise and Broadway Belle would have claims at best, but lack recent positives.
