Milly Naseb and INDIA'S SONG bid for a hat-trick having won at Kempton before scoring at Chelmsford earlier this month when beating a subsequent winner. David Simcock's filly can shrug off a 3lb rise and is preferred to recent course and distance winner Apache Glory. The latter should confirm running with Lady Lunchalot but Al Jamal has a bit to find with the selection on latest form. Moulin Rouge is upped 6lb for winning at Wolverhampton but is still improving and not out of this.
