Verdict

FLIGHT TO MILAN has to concede weight all round but Mitchell Bastyan claims a valuable 5lb, a first-time visor is applied and the drop back to the minimum trip should prove helpful in the search for a first win under Rules. Stablemate Mouseinthehouse has to put a poor run last time behind him and Battleofthesomme, whilst respected here, has found life far tougher after the handicapper's reaction to two wins in a week earlier in the season. Royal Act also has a shout on the best of his form and track and trip should suit - he looks the each-way option at the prices. Champion Chase is 0-21 under Rules but continues to pick up place money and may well do so again.
