Noel George has become Until Winning’s regular pilot and the top weight is back in the right grade today. MAID OF MILAN’s fitness will have to be taken on trust as she’s having a first run since falling at Fakenham in November. However, she’s gone well fresh in the past and still looks nicely treated. Shanroe Street is another on a retrieval mission having fallen at the last here last month. He had just been headed and is 2lb higher today so may be worth opposing. Nefyn Bay looked in the handicapper’s grip last time at Sedgefield and Royal Tara would need to improve on his second at Exeter to go one better.
