      Verdict

      It's possible a change of scenery will benefit Trafalgar but he has a bit to prove now. Double Handful is starting to look well treated but has disappointed in his last couple of runs while Midnight Cataria has yet to make the frame since switching to fences and still has jumping issues. Chepstow runner-up Ballybough Pat needs softer ground than this so there doesn't appear any reason to desert MILGEN BAY. He's returned as good as ever since his winter break, winning at Towcester and Exeter - another 5lb shouldn't prevent a four-timer.
