Verdict
TOP VILLE BEN ran his best race so far for Philip Kirby when third at Carlisle. He probably wouldn’t need much more to take this, despite a 2lb higher mark. Sumkindofking was ridden with plenty of confidence at Kempton last month but didn’t pick up in the closing stages. However, that was still a fair run and this represents a drop in class. Just Milly has been running well but is creeping up the weights, though could make the frame again. Paddys Runner went close at Market Rasen two runs ago so looks the pick of the remainder.
