MILLKWOOD is well clear of the opposition on official figures. He's unproven on this surface but recent placed efforts in testing ground suggest it will be no problem and John Davies' charge gets the vote to finally open his account. Pearl Noir finished nearly last here on his latest start but stablemate Jiminy went close over track and trip on only his second outing and looks a threat. Chessfield Park has plenty to find with the latter and Scent Of Roses makes more appeal despite returning from a lengthy lay-off.
