MILE END shaped well on her nursery debut at Down Royal earlier this month and, now 2 lb lower, she gets the nod given the likelihood of further improvement. The main danger will probably be posed by Distillate, who took a step forward when finishing second in the same Down Royal nursery but she is now 6 lb worse off at the weights with Mile End. Biggerthanbigtime is the most interesting among the others, though Mucky Mulconry also needs a second look.
