Verdict

A couple of Irish raiders should have a say in proceedings. Angus Milan ran well for fourth at Down Royal last month when beaten only a couple of lengths and Baby Bach won a bumper on a previous visit to the track. But another chance goes to MOSSIES WELL, outclassed in a Grade 2 event at Doncaster last time but finishing third over track and trip before that with subsequent dual winner Three Faces West behind. Un Noble disappointed when last at the track in November but Throthethatch finished closer over 2m here last time.
