Flight To Milan finished second of only three runners at Fontwell last month when a long way behind the winner though can do better back over this shorter trip. But LE COEUR NET made a winning return to action in last year’s renewal and Anthony Honeyball’s charge is taken to repeat having subsequently gone close at Fontwell back in March off a similar mark to today’s. The remainder have all been struggling though Annie Bonny ran well for a long way over further at Worcester last month and is preferred to Hurricane Arcadio of the rest.
