Tales Of Milan makes his debut over fences and though he's shown little over hurdles his pedigree suggests chasing will be his game. Worrell Creek has improved over timber recently but only in very moderate company while Hello Louie has had his jumping problems over the smaller obstacles. Its All Hush Hush was beaten almost a distance into third at Listowel so in a poor contest chasing newcomer PASSING THROUGH is handed the vote as he ran a couple of decent races in mid-summer. The former hunter Aces And Kings has more experience than most of these though the trip looks on the short side as is does for point-to-point winner Living Next Door.
