Silk Mill Blue scored over track and trip last month but has been beaten back here subsequently. Jessinamillion has yet to win anywhere but slips further down the weights after placing here back in August while both Cliff and Mr Strutter posted better efforts over 6f on their respective latest starts. A wind operation has the desired effect on HARRY GEORGE over a mile at the track last time as he scored by over three lengths despite a slow start. There should be more to come from him despite the drop back to 7f and Richard Guest’s charge can go in again.
