Verdict

An interesting-looking contest, with the vote going to MILCREE who has shown much improved form sent chasing following a lengthy absence. He is taken to land the hat-trick with the step back up in trip promising to suit, though As The Fella Says could also still have more to offer after his Newbury success, with Kykorock another to note.

2	Missed 21 months following his novice hurdle season, but looked worth the wait when making a successful chase debut in novice handicap at Ayr in January. Battled well to follow up at Kelso (21.6f, heavy) and there could be better still to come at this trip. 1st Pick 2 Milcree (Ire) Jockey: Danny Mcmenamin Trainer: Nicky Richards J: Danny Mcmenamin T: Nicky Richards	100	-	-	-	25%	3/1

3	Winning pointer who opened his Rules account at the fourth attempt in this sphere in handicap at Newbury (23.4f, soft) 25 days ago, getting the better of a last-time-out winner.
