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.
