Miss M is on a long losing run but was sent off favourite at Exeter last week, though ended up well beaten. ACHY BREAKY HEART was only sixth in this last year and is 3lb higher. She also returns from a break but Milton Harris is having a fantastic season and should have her ready. Milanese Rose might have more to offer so is preferred to Sindabella of the others.
