Carey Street has been raised 4lb for winning at Wolverhampton and Mille Miglia has gone up the same amount having ended last year with a victory at Newmarket. Doncaster winner Wots The Wifi Code failed to cope with a hike in the weights at Ripon last week while Apex King has something to prove over this far. GLEN ESK included a course and distance success in last summer’s hat-trick and is back on the same mark as when last successful. Narrowly beaten on his reappearance last season, he should be in the mix.
