Verdict
The step up to 7f promises to play to the strengths of MILFORD GRANGE who has been shaping up well over 6f and should take a bit of stopping in a race where few of his rivals arrive with compelling claims. Ellie's de Vega has been holding his own in sprint handicaps and should have a say if as effective back at 7f. It would also be no surprise were Napolian to get a lot more competitive with an outing under his belt.

VerdictMuch improved when second in a Newcastle novice (5f) on final start 2-y-o start in November. Hasn't made a significant impact in 3 handicaps this year but his mark is on the slide and possible first-time cheekpieces could give him a lift.
