Emrys is related to Demolition, a prolific winner on the Flat. Tony McCoy's presence makes him of interest but BLUE ET OR is preferred. The latter has been placed in the French provinces and Donald McCain won this in 2012 with a similar type. Alan Swinbank has also won this race before so Micklegate Run is one to consider while Coup De Vent is a half-sister to a winner and Richard Johnson takes the ride. Milly Baloo is another to keep an eye on but Verona Opera was engaged to run at Ayr yesterday.
