HILL OF MILLER has run well here before and he is narrowly preferred to Wanchai Whisper and R Woody in a competitive nursery. The selection is yet to shed his maiden tag but he has run some good races in defeat. His handicap mark has edged down to 70 which could prove to be lenient and this son of Indian Ridge is tentatively selected. Kings Of Leo is well-drawn, but he has a little to find with Wanchai Whisper on their run here last time out. R Woody sprung a 100/1 surprise last time out and on a form line through Maldon Prom he holds the selection, however he faces a very different surface this evening. Six Wives is consistent and is closely linked with Athwaab on their Southwell run last time, Blue Neptune is a course and distance winner and needs respect, however he is another who was held behind Wanchai Whisper. The last-named is in fine fettle and another bold bid is expected. Lets Move It improved on his handicap bow at Southwell and off the same mark of 50 he cannot be overlooked. If Miss Lesley can translate her Lingfield form to here then she is another who makes it onto any shortlist, however narrow preference is for Hill Of Miller.
