Heat And Dust’s defection has left this wide open. Tim Easterby runs both the in-form Just Hiss and Chief Craftsman. Calliope has been in decent form over hurdles and See The Sea is also useful in that sphere. Thermal won on the Tapeta at Southwell last month and Misha Volkhansky rode a winner for the yard in one of these recently. The New Marwan won at Chester two runs ago but MILLTOWN LILY may just edge this at the weights if back on song.
