Verdict
Hecouldbetheone was only beaten a head carrying a double penalty at Plumpton last month but MILAN BRIDGE has the edge at the weights. Paul Nicholls’ charge won a handicap at Hereford last time and also carries a double penalty along with Ucanaver. The latter has won a couple of mares’ only races, though steps up in distance today. Sure Listen has little chance in this company though will pick up prize money with a clear round.
