From Eden coped easily with a step up to 3m at Ayr but he has another quarter-mile to cover here and 9lb more to carry. CARROLLS MILAN looks a thorough stayer and arrives on a hat-trick. She does step up a grade but Connor Brace is good value for his 6lb claim in a race like this. Bordeaux Bill has won two of his last three and Sun Cloud, winner of this in 2017, hinted at a return to form at Ayr last time. The lightly-weighted Mighty Thunder and veteran Isaacstown Lad are also worth a second look in an open-looking contest.
