Verdict
THEATRE MILL has found only one too good on his last couple of outings and the handicapper has taken a chance leaving him on the same mark. He gets the vote having finished second in this grade at Lingfield recently but Last Shot steps up in class after finishing runner-up at Stratford in May. No Ceiling was placed at Worcester last month and Walk In The Mill went close at Newbury earlier in the year. It was heavy ground when Got The Nac won a novice chase last year and he hasn’t raced since January.
