MILLY MALONE has been chasing but goes back over hurdles off a 10lb lower mark so must have every chance of getting back to winning ways. She's preferred to Fontwell third Midnight Sequel and the frustrating Lady Of Longstone. Dawnieriver could go well if in the mood, however, and it would be no surprise to see the lightly-raced Luso's Way get competitive after a lay-off. Call Me Kate is preferred to Anda De Grissay of the others.
