Verdict

Milton des Bieffes, High Calibre and Golden Duck are the ones that catch the eye here and Milton des Bieffes can come out on top. A winner at Stratford and over this course and distance, Golden Duck was run out of it close home at Hereford last time. He has gone up a couple of pounds for that run but can go well here. High Calibre lost his maiden tag in convincing fashion at Folkestone last time, and although he has been raised ten pounds he can go well. Milton des Bieffes has shown resolution to win three races on the bounce and he has been given a seven pound penalty for Sunday's Towcester success. Milton des Bieffes began his winning run here three outings ago, and in receipt of weight from all his rivals, Milton des Bieffes can make it a four timer.
