Plenty of these have a handicap rating and MILLKWOOD comes out best of them. He found a hot favourite too good at Thirsk last time but finished clear of the third and can finally open his account. Danzki had looked to be going the right way before a poor effort at Musselburgh and Master Clockmaker didn't stay the 1m4f at Pontefract back in June. Alpha Delphini is a half-brother to the smart sprinter Tangerine Trees among others and may prove best of the newcomers.
