In depth
Verdict
MILLIE OF MAYO (NAP) is impossible to oppose as she is still improving at a rate of knots judged on a second win at Market Rasen – Danny McMenamin has struck up a good understanding with the mare and again takes off a valuable 7lb. Echo Express, a former stable companion of the selection, fell on his first run for Adam Robson but won at Carlisle in March. Little Saint was second at Uttoxeter two runs ago but is now 0-14 over timber and none of the others make much appeal.
