It could be a profitable afternoon for followers of the Dalgleish stable as ONE NIGHT IN MILAN (NAP) has leading claims in this after a runaway success at Carlisle. He’s gone up 7lb for that and the second has been beaten since but the five-year-old is lightly raced and open to plenty of further improvement. Something Brewing is fit from the Flat and was knocking on the door when last seen over timber. Green Zone will appreciate the return to a longer trip having got outpaced over 2m last time but does most of his winning at Perth. Big Time Dancer has disappointed the last twice and may struggle again here off top weight.
