Formscan  - Milan Milos won over fences at Plumpton in April and has to be respected as a result. That said, his lack of a recent run may give the edge to BLACK DAKOTA, who was a promising third on his handicap debut at Fontwell earlier in the month. Churchman has hit the crossbar multiple times in his most recent outings and is capable of making the frame once again.
