MAMILLIUS bids for a hat-trick having won over track and trip before scoring over 6f here with Kindly behind. George Baker’s charge looks worth sticking with in this company. Both Iconic Knight and Inevitable Outcome won over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton last month and the latter has scored over today’s distance in the past but Fred and Harbour Storm have failed to show any improvement despite rapid slides down the weights.
