In depth
Verdict
A very competitive claimer to round off the evening at Carlisle and plenty of them have decent claims at the weights. However, Bond Millennium hails from a yard that is thriving at present and can be relied upon to at least run up to his rating. Williams Well has been done no favours by the draw so the hat-trick seeking Sarn, along with Amaranth and Kirkby's Treasure, rate as the main dangers. But Bond Millennium showed great tenacity to plug on for second in a much better race than this at Beverley last time and, as Highland Gait gave that form a solid boost at Thirsk on Saturday, the Bryan Smart-trained five-year-old does not have too much to find to live up to Nap material for this evening's meeting.
