A few with questions to answer and Sam Noir will need to bounce back from a poor run last time out although he could do so. Cape Hideaway may well be in the grip of the handicapper now and despite the record fresh of Kalifourchon there are chinks in his armour. WESTERN MILLER may well therefore have a good chance of following up his Bangor win off an 8lb higher mark especially as he could gain an easy lead here.
