Millagros is selected to beat Arry Dash, with Zanjeer and Scotland The Brave not out of things in a tight-looking affair. Just the five runners here but Millagros has shown enough in her last two starts to suggest that her turn is near. Ian Semple's charge was in good form last term, and although failing to add to her tally this year, is now reasonably treated, and although her ability to act on soft going is in question, connections reckon that this tough sort will have no problems. Arry Dash came from off the pace when chasing home Didn't Tell My Wife at Newbury and might need to be kept nearer the pace if they go any here. He also looks well treated these days though and should go close. Zanjeer did not get the best of runs round Chester last time but an earlier success at Beverley showed that he will act on the ground, while Scotland The Brave battled well when making all at Doncaster the time before last and should ensure that they do not go too slow in the early stages. A tricky race from a punting aspect with so many in with a chance, but we shall nominate Millagros to come out on top.
