      Verdict

      Milkwood has the form in the book with a second over track and trip on his first outing after wind surgery. He’ll likely go close but WHOCALLEDMESPEEDY stands out on pedigree. A half-sister to four winners, including Champion Hurdle hero Sublimity, she’s taken to make a winning debut. Of the other newcomers, Castledhem is related to bumper winners while Richidish and Risks Emery are half-brothers to winning hurdlers.
