All six of these were placed on their latest starts. Kilas Girl and Twenty Eight Guns are making a bit of a habit of finishing second and overlooked on that basis and MILLY BALOO has also found one too good the last twice. But Tim Easterby's mare had won over 2m4f here before that and Ryan Day's 5lb claim may just be enough to see her back to winning ways in this. Kentford Myth's form in handicaps looks stronger than Young Lou's recent efforts but The Barbury Queen may improve past them both racing outside of novice company for the first time today.
