Reposer may do better on only his second start for a new trainer while Green Howard and True Pleasure have been placed over a mile recently, though both have won over today's shorter trip before. Millkwood's latest second here came in a maiden race while Orpsie Boy is also upped in class after making the frame at Ayr. Catterick winners Iceblast and Smart Alec have something to prove off their current marks so ALMANACK rates the tentative selection having won over 6f in July and gone close again over today's trip at Yarmouth last time.
