Thriving for new trainer Rod Millman, completing a C&D hat-trick last month. A further 4 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him.

TADREEB can defy the handicapper again and make it 4-4 over C&D since switching to the Rod Millman yard. Beattie Is Back, Rey de La Batalla and Thapa Vc can fight it out for the minor honours.
