MISSED APPROACH is receiving 6lb from his chief rival in this small field novices event and can put a poor run in a graded event at Wetherby behind him by claiming this. The form of the selections chase success at Lingfield has worked out well enough and he can get the better of Rock The Kasbah who has to give weight away all round while Mystical Knight looks the most likely to claim third having seen off a subsequent winner at Hereford in December
