In depth
Verdict
Mill Thyne was quite well backed on his debut on the Polytrack in February and may be capable of better but that remark can also be applied to winning pointer BILLY TWYFORD, who was just a shade too keen on his first start under Rules over C&D last month but will know more today. He's preferred to House Party, who has finished second at Newcastle and Market Rasen but doesn't look that progressive, and newcomers Dance Of Time and Sweet Prince.
