Wicked Wench just held off Kyleakin Lass and Signifer on a quicker surface here last month with Red Senor only fifth. Ian Wood's runner-up is fancied to come out on top at the revised weights today's however, and looks a danger to MILIIKA. The latter looks a nice prospect over sprint distances and always had matters well in hand when getting off the mark at Brighton, despite still showing signs of inexperience. York winner Morocco Moon is also progressive while Tango Sky should win more races this year but Welease Bwian couldn't justify favouritism at Nottingham eight days ago and is a couple of pounds out of the handicap here.
