COMPTON MILL was not at his best at Southwell on his return. But he ran well at Newbury on his racecourse debut in September and can come out best in this if running up to the same level. Wolverhampton winner Three Gracez never figured at this track on her return to action but Flying Fantasy ended last year with an improved effort at Leicester and Ryan Moore takes over the reins today. Captain Koko went backwards after placing on his debut at Kempton while Chain Of Daises went close at Chepstow in between a couple of distinctly modest efforts.
