Verdict
Tim Vaughan's runners are always respected at this level and having been tried in much better company in Ireland, Spice Hill has to make a degree of appeal in a visor. Saga de Tercey was allotted a BHA figure of 125 having scored in two Novice hurdles last year, and even allowing for some modest runs in the interim, Donald McCain's inmate appears extraordinarily well in off a mark of 95. But with his resolution to be taken on trust, we will take a chance about MILLENARYS LADY. Dai Rees' mare is a maiden though she'd shown glimpses of ability on a sounder surface in Ireland, and will receive plenty of assistance from Paul Maloney in the saddle. Brass Monkey would have to be a factor on his win in a non-seller at Stratford while Dune Shine isn't dismissed if running up to the pick of his form when for Oliver Sherwood.
