Acey Milan, Normal Norman and Ena Baie boast identical form figures but the latter won a Grade 3 in France in the summer so should be capable of holding her own in this company. Skyline was just beaten on debut at Doncaster, with Malinas Jack just behind, and Feel The Pinch is an interesting newcomer. But VOLCANO beat Acey Milan at Exeter with plenty in hand and looks a nice prospect. He should confirm that running and double his tally.
