In depth
Verdict
MILLION REASONS completed a double over 6f with last week’s success at Newcastle and looks worth sticking with over this extra distance in his current form. Street Poet finished in front of Macs Dilemma when runner-up here earlier in the month but the latter should get closer on better terms. Tommytwohoots is preferred to the returning Camacho Man with a recent outing under his belt.
