Major Milborne was placed three times in decent novice hurdle company last season and is the best of those with experience. But he'll have to prove he stays this far and hasn't been seen since disappointing over 2m5f at Plumpton in March. BALLYCOE will know what's required and stamina won't be a problem as he won over 3m between the flags at Athlacca in May. St Johns Point looks another useful recruit from the point-to-point circuit he makes more appeal than the disappointing Keep Presenting and Annamult.
