Mick Easterby saddles top weight Millymonkin and the more exposed Be Calm but Paul Mulrennan, who often partners the yard's more fancied runners, has been claimed for James Given's Trioomph, who probably has a bit to prove off this mark. DIVINE SUCCESS arguably ran his best race so far when fourth at Warwick four weeks ago under Lee Topliss and is 3lb lower here. A repeat performance may well suffice. Wolverhampton fourth Dubious Escapade rarely runs a bad race and is preferred to recent all-weather winners Johnny Cavagin and My New Angel of the others.
