Milldam looks best of Jamie Snowden's pair though ran poorly on heavy ground at Leicester last time. Olly Murphy also has two entries though Moore Margaux hasn't run for two years but Oakley Dancer was very green at Lingfield and should have benefited from the experience. Odin's Quest won a bumper here before two moderate efforts but ran a bit better than his finishing positions suggests on his hurdling debut at Sandown. THUNDERCLAP, three times a winner on the Flat, ran in two better races than this over timber before a fair run in this grade at Ffos Las and gets the nod.
