    Verdict

    One Night In Milan is an 80,000 euros half-brother to the top-class Native River so is a very nice long-term prospect. It would be no surprise to see him close to making a winning start to his career but a couple of potentially-useful recruits from the point-to-point circuit also make their debuts under Rules. Locker Room Talk is one but preference is for SEROSEVSKY. Bought for £60,000 after winning a maiden point back in May, his dam has already produced five winners over jumps. Sizing Tara and Smith's Bay are both by leading NH sires so are worth a market check.
