18/1

Five from 24 over the larger obstacles but last win came in a Fairyhouse handicap in December 2017 off a 4lb higher mark. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Forecasts

Lakemilan (5/4), Draycott Place (2/1), Mill Quest (10/3), Presenting Mahler (7/2), The Last Marju (6/1), Hash Brown (16/1), Nearly Nama'd (18/1)

The rapidly improving MILL QUEST can land her third win in 18 days over the larger obstacles on handicap debut for in form trainer and jockey combination. The nine-year-old can follow up her win at Limerick on Thursday seeing off the attentions on recent Ballinrobe winner, Draycott Place and the tough and genuine Presenting Mahler.
