Millarville was a wide-margin winner of this 12 months ago and wasn’t given a hard time in her prep race for a repeat at Ayr. She is 7lb higher but should be in the firing-line again. PHILLIPA SUE opened her account on her handicap debut at Hereford and she should have more to offer with a similar comment applying to Uttoxeter maiden winner Missed Tee. Arcandy is more exposed and still winless but has form around here. Lily's Gem didn’t beat much at Leicester while Corey's Courage may need to drop a few pounds.
