Verdict
WITHY MILLS returned to hurdles with a fair effort over course and distance 12 days ago behind Revaader. He's a couple of pounds higher but this is a weaker contest so Kevin Bishop's grey gets a tentative vote with credible opposition thin on the ground. Lukes Hill was third over a shorter trip here in December and should be thereabouts if a visor brings about some improvement while a step up in distance should suit handicap debutant Ask A Bank. But Taroum has reverted to type in recent runs and soft going has to be a concern for the returning Signed Request.
