RECON MISSION should find this a bit easier than the Epsom Dash last time and has run well on both previous visits here so he might prove the answer to this concluding sprint. C&D scorer Spoof is respected on the back of his latest Windsor second, while Dark Shot hasn't won for a while but his consistency of late is hard to knock.
