Milanstorm finished well beaten in third when sent off favourite at Lingfield and, though still preferred to stablemate Another Frontier, a couple of these are less exposed. Robsam found one too good at Hexham last time but that was back in September and JUST A DEAL has the more recent form. The latter finished a close-up third at Huntingdon when upped to 3m1f and another bold bid is expected with Harry Skelton taking over the reins. Loch Garman Aris posted a decent effort at Warwick and Akkapenko is better than his latest run suggests.
