Milcree won a point-to-point bumper in April and could be anything having joined Nicky Richards’ yard. He is a full brother to winning stayer Camp Belan. The latter’s trainer runs Inox Allen, who landed the odds at Hexham last month, and also Dangan Cloud while Caher Roes Den has won between the flags. ANNAGHBEG was a bit green on his debut under Rules at Down Royal but that will have taught the winning pointer plenty and Stephen O’Connor takes off a handy 7lb again.
