In depth
Verdict
FLY BY MILAN has the form in the book with a couple of placed efforts at Ayr and Nicky Richards’ charge can open his account. Falloway Dubreau and Stony Man have placed between the flags while Has Troke won a bumper in the French provinces last year but one of the newcomers may prove a bigger threat. River Legend hails from an in-form yard and Peejaybee is related to jumps winners in France and is preferred to Mind The Windows while both Are Ya Welll and Hesbehindyou are half-brothers to bumper winners.
