Verdict

EXPECTO raised her game when digging deep to land a Gowran nursery earlier this month and a 6 lb rise looks fair given that the first two pulled nicely clear of the rest. With similar conditions forecast here, she is taken to follow up. Rapid Mission has shown enough in maidens to suggest that he'll be competitive off this mark now pitched into a nursery, and he is feared most ahead of Tiscommonknowledge.
