Uphold will find life tougher on his first start for Gay Kelleway having won a claimer at Leicester on his latest start, but Milnagavie had landed a hat trick over today's distance before his recent fourth over a longer trip here and he should figure. Warlu Way was expected to improve further at Haydock last time after scoring over 1m2f but disappointed, while Goodwood winner Spice Fair takes a big step up in class. It appeared NIBANI didn't handle the track when a losing favourite at Chester last month, but he'll be better suited to this course and gets the vote to make amends.
