TARA MILL’s form in Ireland last season would have been superior to his rivals in this but he was well below par on his first run for Sam England at Sedgefield earlier this month, though should strip fitter here. Milvale appears held on that Sedgefield run but made mistakes and was a little too keen - he is better than that. Rintulla pulled up on his hurdling debut at Southwell but Bright Side Oflife wasn’t beaten that far here three weeks ago and has a mare’s allowance in her favour.
