Verdict
Milly Baloo won at Catterick early in the year and will no doubt be winning again this season but SAME CIRCUS (NAP) is preferred today. The latter just failed to catch the winner at Warwick last time but finished a distance in front of Grace Tara with Sheneededtherun pulled up. Donald McCain’s charge gets the nod to go one better in this with Dawnieriver perhaps the biggest threat now back on winning mark.
