Tsarglas bids for hat-trick after winning here and at Wolverhampton earlier this month. He'll be thereabouts once again but it could be SKIDBY MILLS' turn today given the latter was beaten less than a length over track and trip during the week. Caledonia Laird was not far behind the selection last time and Fire King finished runner-up on his latest start to Boboli Gardens, who has won again since. Lewamy scored here in December and an apprentice's allowance gives him a shout but Lutine Charlie's win at Brighton came back in September.
