Verdict
Smile A Mile finished ahead of Bataar when scoring over 7f at Musselburgh and is only 4lb higher today. Balladeer won at Chelmsford before placing at Epsom last month but MIGRATION (NAP) is preferred. The latter just failed to catch the progressive Masaru in Class 2 company at Sandown last month and can go one better with a similar effort in this lower grade. Assimilation has been gelded since placing at Wolverhampton on his handicap debut and Crimewave is one to note now handicapping for the first time.
