Good going has suited Milly Malone in her last two starts and she has conditions in her favour again. Adrian Wintle's mare will probably make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick, despite taking on stronger company today, but STILL BELIEVING can concede weight all round. Her jumping has been much better over fences second time around and, though she still has a few quirks, she is the one to beat if putting her best foot forward. Kilmurvy can also run in snatches and is making his fencing debut but wouldn't be far away if on song and is preferred to the maiden He's A Bully.
