In depth

Verdict

Hepijeu and Tornado In Milan like to race at the head of affairs and could set this up nicely for NOCHE DE REYES. The latter won over track and trip at the end of last month and this looks slightly less competitive. Such A Legend could also go well if at his best on his first start since October and Goohar is not out of this either after a string of placed efforts including a second over these fences. Chestnut Ben is prone to throw in the odd bad run as he did at Kelso last time but he went close off a similar mark to today at Sandown before that.
