After a first and second at Worcester, Hillary View will probably start favourite for this despite a further 3lb rise. Arizona Bound appeared to be heading in the right direction before pulling up at Perth last month. My Wigwam Or Yours makes more appeal than Bafana Blue but the obstacles keep getting in the way for Sulamani The Late. CLASSICAL MILANO is two from three on the track so it may be worth forgiving his run behind Arizona Bound at Perth after a short break.
