Miles To Milan has won over hurdles but his victory at Ayr in the spring came over fences. I See You Well has also been chasing lately but Canyon City could be interesting having run a nice race on the all-weather a couple of weeks ago and is preferred to Master Of Finance, another likely to be back over the larger obstacles sooner rather than later. STAGS LEAP has found some form since wind surgery and, though doing most of his winning at Cartmel, has been successful around here and is receiving weight all round. Supakalanistic makes most appeal of the others.
