MILLROW produced his best effort for this yard at Ascot just before Christmas and was pitched in deep since at Kempton in the Lanzarote. That can be overlooked and, on his previous run, he looks capable of getting his head in front. Demon Fou has shown improved form in his last two starts and is on the shortlist while Rosemary Russet should have more to say back at this venue. Carrigmoorna Matt's recent Chepstow second hinted that his new handler is close to finding a race for him.
