In depth
Verdict
First Charge won over today’s trip at Wolverhampton recently having slipped down the weights and there looks more to come. But ONE NIGHT IN MILAN found one too good in a higher grade contest over track and trip last week and Keith Dalgleish’s charge gets another chance in this. Nataleena has won off a higher mark here in the past while Dreambird was placed yet again when third at Bath but has yet to win. Miss Roulette is also a maiden but may improve for this extra distance.
