Verdict
Le Milos recorded a second victory over hurdles over track and trip last month. Tim Vaughan puts up a 7lb claimer to help offset his penalties but Mr Muldoon looks a worthy opponent as he pulled well clear on his debut under Rules at Worcester. SIDI ISMAEL is receiving weight from that pair, however, and he was very impressive when running away with a bumper at Hexham back in March. He has a jumping pedigree and the third has already won over timber this season. Uptown Harry was second four times last season, twice here, so has to be respected but Point Taken has some improving to do.
