Formscan  - Miakoda is arguably the safe play in here given we know he's on good terms with himself following his last two Chepstow outings, and James Owen's gelding isn't short of experience. However, the eye is still drawn to UNCLE SIMON's unexposed profile and he improved again on his handicap debut at Redcar when only beaten a neck into second. Keep an eye on Graduated too.
