Verdict

Sandown winner Le Milos was out of his depth at Ascot in March but has a penalty to overcome here was well as an absence. Points and bumpers winner GLORIOUS LADY was all out to make a successful start to her chase career at Bangor and also carries a penalty. But Keith Dalgleish’s mare will know more today so is preferred to stable companion Gennady. Farlam King is now 0-11 and probably needs a bit further while Aurora Thunder hasn’t been seen since a distant fifth at Ayr in March.
