Verdict
Go Millie Go has improved with every run over hurdles and arrives on a hat-trick. There is no reason why Stuart Edmunds’ eight-year-old won’t be thereabouts again and the yard also has a chance with Airgead Suas but Rayna's World often flatters to deceive and has failed to add to her sole success so far in a Hexham maiden. She also tackles a new trip today as does Global Harmony, who was below par last month at Taunton and is closely matched with Alpha Carinae on Warwick running. WYNN HOUSE is back racing against her own sex having finished tired in a Grade 2 over this trip at Cheltenham in December. The soft going that day probably didn’t suit the Presenting mare but she’ll have no excuses today as she looks to recapture the winning thread.
