A few in here with claims and preference is for JUST MILLY, who has conditions to suit and is arguably still unexposed. We know more about the capabilities of the rest of the field and it is interesting that Danny Cook is on board Smooth Stepper and not No Planning. Both have claims, though the track's leading jockey is on one who has not won when returning from a similar-length break. Nautical Nitwit is exposed but if running up to his best, he would be thereabouts, while Lough Salt loves it here and could be a big danger in receipt of weight from all-comers and having had a recent pipe-opener at Ripon.
