Race Summary: DREAM OF MISCHIEF looked an unlcuky loser when runner-up at Goodwood last time and can make amends off just a 1lb higher mark. Puffable made a promising start for Alice Haynes when third at the same track and rates a big threat eased 1lb. Jimmy Lifestyle is another who has been lowered in the weights and can have a say in an open handicap.
