Miltiades had been threatening to win for some time before getting off the mark at Ludlow and, though 3lb higher, Alice Stevens' claim takes care of the extra. Safe Destination is just as likely to throw in a bad one as complete a double after his Ludlow victory following which he's 6lb higher. Furkash has had 13 starts over fences without winning while Hard Frost is still a maiden after a dozen starts. BALLINOULART has yet to win but his recent run at Hereford was his best so far and, with the longer trip certain to suit, he can get off the mark.
