Brockey Rise has three victories around here and very nearly made it four earlier this month when headed right on the line with Bobby Joe Leg close behind in third. Maid Millie is consistent though seems best at 6f and though Reasoned has dropped to her lowest mark she's rarely looked like losing her maiden tag. Seven-times winner WITH APPROVAL has only been raised 3lb for his recent all-the-way victory at Newcastle and can go in again but Miss Bates' only victory came over a mile at Newcastle and that looks her trip. Recent Chelmsford winner The King's Steed is 2-15 around here and has won off a much higher mark so is greatly respected.
