Master Milan was tailed off on his comeback and can only improve on that though he's 13lb higher than when winning at Ffos Las in March. LORD SINGER makes more appeal as he went close off today's mark in a better race at Newbury earlier this year and has strong claims with a similar effort in this lesser grade. Nozic is up 9lb for ending last season with a win at Plumpton while Morestead has a 7lb penalty to contend with having scored at Warwick last week. Owner Occupier is good enough to figure if in the mood but it's anybody's guess when that will be.
