Despite a win at Musselburgh last month, Millie The Minx is back on one of her favourite stomping grounds here and she will enjoy the surface. Kildrum would have finished closer at Hexham last time but for a last-flight blunder but Dubai Guest has gone backwards since a second at Hereford in December. SNOWY BURROWS made a winning start in handicap over 2m4f here last month. Brian Hughes keeps the partnership intact and Rebecca Menzies’ grey can double her tally off a 5lb higher mark.
