Mildenberger has the past form to go close and will be sharper for a recent comeback at Kempton. But he has a bit to find on these terms with RAYMOND TUSK (NAP), who followed a good effort in the Ebor at York with a respectable five length defeat in last month’s Melbourne Cup in Australia when only fading in the final furlong. The Hannon colt makes most appeal on that form though Funny Kid is another to consider travelling over from France having won a Listed event at Chantilly early in the year. Dubawi Fifty has a shout on his earlier second in the Northumberland Plate here but Sir Chauvelin has plenty to prove over this far judged on previous attempts and the remainder have it all to do at the weights.
