Foley Millennium won well last time and looks the percentage call in this handicap - Matsunosuke and Treasure Cay are rated as main dangers. The selection has his optimum conditions again today and he won in impressive fashion at Chester last time when beating Plateau. He was good value for his winning margin of four lengths that day as he was eased down by his jockey in the closing stages. He gave the impression at Chester that he was one to stay on the right side of and he looks capable of defying a penalty to score today. Matsunosuke is another that should relish today's conditions and he won well at Sandown last time when beating Bowness. He remains well treated and should go close. Treasure Cay did not handle the soft ground at Newmarket last time so he could be worth another chance, but he looks to have plenty on in this company to get his head in front. One Way Ticket would have claims on the pick of his form but he finished last behind our selection last time and we are happy to stick with Foley Millennium who looks the one to beat.
