Canelo and Dandy Dan are both penalised for earlier wins and closely matched on these terms with the former arriving in the better form. But Paul Nicholls has sent out the last two winners of this and ONE NIGHT IN MILAN makes his hurling debut after placing in a bumper at Wincanton last month. The half-brother to Gold Cup hero Native River gets the vote with Byrony Frost’s allowance also in his favour. Chimes Of Dylan may finish closer after a fourth at Fakenham but it’s difficult to make a case for any of the rest.
