Sky Bright had Mille Miglia back in third when opening his account at Leicester but the latter re-opposes on better terms. Tundra missed out by only a nose at Chepstow when attempting to land a hat-trick and can figure again but the less-exposed NATURAL COLOUR (NAP) is preferred. The latter is fitted with headgear after finishing behind a subsequent winner when third at Yarmouth on her handicap debut. Angels Landing goes handicapping for the first time and may prove best of the rest.
