Verdict

MILROW drops into this lowly grade for the first time. The four-year-old did disappoint last time at Cartmel but is easily the highest rated of this bunch and it will be a surprise if he’s beaten. Dove Mountain represents a yard that’s been in fantastic form and he won on the Flat at Brighton last month. It’s a while since he was last jumping but that shouldn’t be a problem and he looks the danger as Astrum hasn’t pulled up any trees since bought out of a similar race here in April. Orion's Might won a Uttoxeter handicap in May but has a mountain to climb at the weights.
