In depth
Verdict
Miss Milano won by only a neck at Wetherby last month but a 5lb rise and soft going make today’s task more difficult and WITHOUT CONVICTION is preferred. The latter reverts to hurdling having finished third over fences at Hexham on her return to action and Lucinda Russell’s charge has won off today’s mark in the past. Jen's Georgie ended last season with a neck defeat in maiden company and has a shout while the selection’s stablemate Your Place is fitted with a visor.
