MILITARY CALL finished second over C&D last week to Uncle Brit, who runs in the previous race. Alistair Whillans' charge won the inaugural running of this off the same mark on fast ground last year and looks set for a repeat. Cheeky Wee Red and Shunkawakhan were both behind the selection last time and Mangham could prove a bigger threat though it was soft going when he finished runner-up over track and trip recently. So Is She is capable of going close on her day and makes most appeal of the rest.
