Verdict

TALES OF MILAN last ran over fences in March when runner-up to Down Under. He's made real progress over timber subsequently and looks well enough handicapped to complete a double following his facile success at Limerick. Island Peak hasn't been seen since scoring at Clonmel in September but he's only 2lb higher so must be a threat if fit enough. Westhaven hasn't shown much over fences but is progressing nicely over hurdles so there's every reason to believe there's more to come. The former hunter Mount Sion has definitely improved of late and looks on a decent enough mark to get competitive.
