MILARROW wasn't winning out of turn over a longer trip here in March and can give the weight away to Easter Day, who was placed in a couple of bumpers in the spring but makes his hurdling debut today. Pearls Legend won at Worcester in July but has more on his plate here under a penalty and French import To Live finished tailed off on his UK debut here. Nebula Storm kept very good company on the Flat in Ireland but connections may struggle to find a race over hurdles for him judged on the evidence so far.
