One Night In Milan boasts some smart form in staying hurdles but is making his Flat debut at the age of eight. The four-year-old Victory Star is making his racecourse debut but has a nice pedigree and hails from a top northern yard. PRAIANO is surely the one to beat on his half-length second to Golden Bugle over this trip at Doncaster but expect Adrastus to improve markedly on his run at Yarmouth as he’s by Dubawi out of a Galileo mare and a half-brother to two winners. Hard To Fault should also go well having just come up short at Catterick on his second start.
