After making a winning hurdles debut over track and trip last month, MILROW was let down by his jumping on a return visit and beaten half-a-length. However, he still finished ahead of Four Mile Beach and Skylark Lady and a clear round should see him back in the winner's enclosure, though Malcolm Jefferson's charge will know more today. Adherence and Aristocles may prove the pick of the newcomers.
