Via Volupta has a massive absence to overcome not to mention topweight and is best watched for now. There is little between Little Millie and TIMEFORBEN on recent Southwell running but the latter is taken to reverse placings on 4lb better terms, especially if connections decide to ride him here with a little more restraint. He had previously looked progressive when scoring at Kempton in April. Rosie McQueen has yet to score over timber but shaped well when last seen at Doncaster in January and could be a main player stepped up in trip for Jonjo O'Neill. Jennifer Juniper and Western Breeze have yet to sparkle but hail from classy yards, whilst Mac Bella wasn't done with when falling here last time.
