17:20 – Onagatheringstorm

BHA, RPR and Topspeed figures suggest ONAGATHERINGSTORM can have the measure of Copper Coin off level weights. The selection is also open to significant progress over this longer trip.

17:50 – Captain Tom Cat

Isaac Wonder will prove a threat if he stays 2m4f but it may pay to side with chasing debutant CAPTAIN TOM CAT, who ran well last month. The consistent Hollywoodien is next best.

A cracking race in store, especially if the ground remains good. Proschema looked good at Cheltenham and is seriously considered but the 11lb rise tips the scales towards SEBASTOPOL, who is ready to win again. Giovanni Change appeals most of the rest.

19:00 – Johnbb

The pair at the foot of the weights need considering but both will find this tougher than their latest outings. Minellacelebration has a tremendous record on the Mildmay course and looks sure to run well but the unexposed JOHNBB (nap) appeals most.

19:35 – Kimmins

My Bobby Dazzler shaped well last month and looks the likeliest challenger to hurdling debutante KIMMINS, whose bumper form suggests she can take this.

20:05 – A Little Chaos

Cotton End returned from a break with yet another win five days ago and is seriously considered but A LITTLE CHAOS, who ran so well at Haydock last month, is given the verdict.

20:35 – If I Say

There was significant market strength behind IF I SAY ahead of her defeat of Time Bandit last month and the filly may prove the answer to this. Gina Andrews, who rode the selection to victory, rides her own stable’s Latenightfumble and this is another with claims.
