It's impossible to have much faith in MILGEN BAY as it's 13 races since he last got his head in front but Oliver Sherwood['s charge still looks the best of a modest bunch. He's yet to finish out of the first three in four runs here and has only found one too good the last twice off higher marks. Rossa Parks is another potentially well treated and she may be the danger if fully wound-up, though Unknown Legend hasn't been beaten far in his last two off this mark. Epee Celeste beat Monroe Park at Fakenham in May but was well behind the selection here last month and Sir Lynx, second here on his penultimate start when 4lb higher, might be more interesting.
