Millennium Accord is the most interesting of the runners and is taken to score at the main expense of Cool Society and Nodforms Victoria. The selection has not been the best of jumpers in recent points (failed to complete twice) however David Pipe's stable are in good form at present and with these lesser obstacles less likely to put pressure on her jumping, she could be too good for her rivals today. Cool Society is of more interest now stepped back up in trip although with the stable not firing on all cylinders at the moment, he may find just one too good today. Bubbs is entitled to come on for her hurdling debut and has been given a break since so may go well, however of more interest may be Nodforms Victoria who will find this company much more inviting and could improve on his latest effort. All in all this looks a weak contest and Millennium Accord gets the tentative nomination.
