RECON MISSION remains on a workable mark despite saddling a 5 lb penalty for his recent C&D victory so just gets the vote in a closely-knit sprint handicap. Royal Birth, who edged out a clutch of these over C&D recently, rates the major danger ahead of Verne Castle, who should enjoy a smoother passage this time and can't be discounted easily.
