Newmarket Race 4 - Betfred 'The Classic Bookmaker' Handicap

There could be more to come from top weight BRAVE MISSION (1). Trained by Ralph Beckett and steps up to 1600m. May improve on his Kempton success in September. The Charlie Appleby-trained SPECTACULAR VIEW (5) did little wrong when second under a penalty at Kempton in December and cannot be ignored delivering handicap debut following five months off. Impressive Kempton (1600m) winner DANTE'S LAD (3) could provide a bold bid revisiting turf off 2.5kg higher. BEST RATE (8) also makes for each-way appeal.
