Benny In Milan scored over this trip at Southwell then just failed to concede the in-form Bay Hill 10lb over the minimum at Thurles last week. But TINTOWN ROBIN (NAP) was carrying a big weight when scoring over the course and distance a fortnight ago and the runner-up has since won over fences so he can defy a 6lb rise and complete a double. Milomynit was always in the front rank when a close third to Authorative, who was receiving a stone, at Downpatrick so looks a threat while Askari has run quite well in the UK in his last two starts though may need further.
