Always Right has a touch of class but is closely matched with course specialist Garleton on their run together here in March when subsequent Grand National hero Auroras Encore was fourth. John Wade's top weight and the runner-up were subsequently pulled up in the Scottish National. You Know Yourself has a penalty for a recent success here and looks held by Rolecarr on earlier form, though Ann Hamilton's charge needs softer ground. This trip appears to stretch the stamina of Premier Sagas and De Boitron may also have stamina limitations but NIGHT IN MILAN certainly won't be stopping on the long run-in and both of his previous chase wins have come over these fences. He still looks nicely treated and can score again.
