Few make any appeal though Maid Millie scored at Kempton in February and is not out of this. Avenue Of Stars didn’t take to the Fibresand on his debut for Mick Appleby but better is expected back on this surface while Good Answer finished in front of Amor Kethley when runner-up off today’s mark at Kempton back in November. But KATH’S LUSTRE won over the minimum trip here before struggling in much better company than this and Richard Hughes’ mare may prove the one to side with back at this level.
