PLAYFUL SAINT looked to have more to offer when a strong-travelling runner-up at Sandown last time so gets the vote in an open handicap. Milldam could prove the main threat to Dan Skelton's charge, especially if ridden less aggressively than at Hexham. Martinhal returns from an absence but is weighted to have a say if fully tuned up and needs a market check.
