Verdict

Mahler Lad has had a couple of months off since scoring decisively at Musselburgh in February (was declared to run at Sedgefield last month). Although that victory has been well advertised since and he stays this longer trip, it'll be much tougher to make all at this stiff track under a welter burden of 12 stone. March C&D scorer Achill Road Boy rates as an obvious threat, and should once more have the edge over Misfits, but we'll chance the Irish raider MILANESQUE. He lines up on the back of a decent effort at Limerick, and should relish the testing underfoot conditions.
