A very modest contest and we will take Millenium Hall to give weight and a beating to Aveiro and Cosmic Case. The selection, unlike most of these, does boat recent winning form. The victory came in a class C handicap over the twelve furlong trip here earlier this month, he got the better of previous winner Zeitgest so the form looks rock solid. Today's opponents are mainly out of sorts, but the best of them could be Gay Kelleway's Aveiro. This eight-year-old had a successful winter on the all-weather and has also shown enough on turf to suggest he could go close in this weak affair. Cosmic Case dead heated with Toni Alcala on his return from a fruitless hurdle campaign and should be battling for place money. Of the others Ellway Heights can get into the shake up if recapturing the best of last season's form, but Millenium Hall, despite the burden of nine stone eleven, looks the one to be on.
