Mill Green is probably progressing and represents powerful connections but SHAUGHNESSY can make it third-time lucky as he probably came up against an above-average recruit last time at Fontwell. Ask Dillon has won a point-to-point and Fergal O’Brien has done well with similar types in the past so he makes more appeal than newcomer Pleney and the once-raced Hero's Creek. Raving Bonkers won here in October but was well beaten under a penalty next time at Catterick and caries 7lb extra again today.
