Tales Of Milan has tumbled down the weights and it would be no surprise to see him take advantage this summer. French Seventyfive has built up an affinity for this track and followed up a hurdles victory here with one over fences at Market Rasen so arrives in peak form. But that's also the case with EVER SO MUCH (NAP), who looked ready for step up in trip when staying on to score at Towcester last time and can complete the hat-trick. Kerry Lee enjoyed a brilliant first season as a trainer but her Celtic Intrigue may need this after a break.
