Formscan - Having maintained his unbeaten record over fences when completing a double at Kelso, further glory cannot be ruled out for Milcree. However, a 5lb higher mark and step up in class does demand another career best from the eight-year-old, with AS THE FELLA SAYS being slightly more compelling. Nicky Henderson's charge opened his account over fences at Newbury with something in hand and a 7lb rise looks surmountable. The hat-trick seeking Golden Point adds further spice to the mix.
