Verdict

MYMILAN hasn't had many chances over fences and shaped as if this return to 3m would suit when a good fourth over 20f at Carlisle so gets the nod in a race where lots arrive with question marks against them. Asking For Answers has been raised 6 lb for his breakthrough Ayr success but can still make his presence felt along with The Dawn Man who could easily bounce back on his return.
