BARTON MILLS is penalised for winning over track and trip in September and ended last year with a defeat in Listed company at York when dropped back to 6f. But he’s rated 86 and could still have the measure of these with the Haggas yard in fine form. La Maquina, Rux Ruxx and the imaginatively-named Racehorse look likely improvers as they return to action while Wufud is related to a host of winners including the high-class Muhaarar and preferred to the Gosden-trained Mr Marrakech of the newcomers.
