LE MILOS hasn't got his head in front since landing a major Newbury handicap back in November 2022, but there were positives to take form his latest effort at Chepstow and this first foray into veterans company could prove fruitful. If Shakem Up'arry stays on all fours this time he is bound to pose a threat and Editeur du Gite would take some catching off this much reduced mark if returning to anything like his best. Smarty Wild is also shortlisted.
