Master Milliner won over track and trip with subsequent winner Bollin Neil behind last time but faces a tougher task in this raised 5lb. Emaraty Hero is 7lb higher than when second at Haydock having won over a shorter trip here earlier with Ghadbbaan behind while the latter has also fallen victim to DANCE TO PARIS over course and distance. Lucy Wadham’s mare ran well again at Goodwood recently and should be in the mix. Notation dead-heated for first at Newcastle and can race off a lower mark today having yet to win on Turf while Byron Hill has a shout on an earlier success at Nottingham.
