Having won a maiden chase at Towcester, Milgen Bay has been placed a couple of times in better company than this. He looks sure to go close but RING BO REE is just preferred. The latter survived a last-fence blunder to score over C&D a fortnight ago and there should be more to come from Tom George's charge now he's got his head in front. Seigneur Des Bois won over a shorter trip here last April but has been well beaten in all three starts since and That's The Deal doesn't look good enough.
