    Verdict

    Millkom Elegance is a tentative choice to beat Gilou and Hirayna in yet another run-of-the-mill affair. Millkom Elegance lines up on the back of a recent win in selling company on the Flat at Redcar, his first ever success. That should ensure that he is fit enough in a bid to go one better than her second over hurdles at Market Rasen. Gilou made all to register her first win here last time but now drops back in trip, while bumper winner Hirayna makes her debut over timber. She would not have to be a world beater to oblige, but with her pilot claiming seven pounds, Millkom Elegance is the pick.
