Formscan  - MILBANKE ran well when third in a class 4 event over 7f at Catterick last time and he was kindly dropped 1lb for that effort, which now puts him only 1lb higher than his last winning mark, so he ought to go very close. Bishop's Crown failed to justify favouritism when he was runner-up in maiden company at Leicester last time and he is respected now back in the handicap ranks, while last-time-out winner So Grateful holds an obvious chance despite a 4lb rise.
