MERIBEL MILLIE (NAP) was fancied to show improvement on her handicap debut at Sedgefield last week and didn’t disappoint. She carries a penalty and drops in trip but there will be plenty of pace on here with Master Vintage and Jaunty Thor both confirmed front-runners. Tinted Rose has claims if you ignore her latest run at Ludlow as she holds Alizee Javilex on collateral form while Robin Why Not may be capable of better and is from a yard in cracking form. Bowie has won here twice but not since 2014 and Rocky Two is only a plater.
