Millkwood has improved with each run and there was plenty to like about his close third to Time And Place at Pontefract. This sharper 5f will be in his favour and he should go well. Fidget showed the benefit of her opening run with a better effort on much quicker ground at Thirsk. Today's going will be softer but she should handle it and get into the shake-up. Megaleka was just behind at Thirsk while Betty Boo ran moderately on soft ground at Newcastle so CHASING DREAMS looks the one to be on. She was sent to Sandown for her debut where she missed the break before showing good pace. That will have put her straight for this and she looks capable of gaining her first success.
