Verdict
Square Mile gets the confident vote in this bumper with Millerburn, and Clearly Oscar rating the main dangers. The selection won well on his debut when defeating Safawi and although he has a penalty for that win this race looks easier and he is sure to have learnt from the experience and under conditions that suit he is impossible to oppose. Millerburn rates the main danger he was a fair third on his debut behind Trisons Star and he is another that is sure to improve but he may be seen to better effect over a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed.Clearly Oscar is out of a mare that won a bumper so is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Connaught Lady is another from a yard that do well in these events and is sure to have come on for her debut running but they will all need to improve significantly to defeat the selection Square Mile.
