Verdict

A tricky closing contest to solve but the vote goes to MILBANKE, who was narrowly beaten when fourth at Doncaster last month and, having moved to Julie Camacho since, he's one to be interested in from this mark with a valuable 3 lb claimer taking over in the plate. Emily Post has got her act together since the hood went on so she heads up the dangers, ahead of Mersea and the enigmatic Roundhay Park.
