MISS MILBORNE certainly wasn't winning out of turn at Fontwell on Boxing Day. She's a reliable sort and is fancied to reverse earlier Hereford running with Tarbeck trying 3m for the first time. Kilmacowen went close at Lingfield in November and has scope for further improvement, while Red Rocco should be winning soon. The fitting of blinkers inspired Addiction to produce her best run so far at Bangor and she could also figure if the headgear has the desired effect a second time.
