Verdict
Successful in four of his last five starts, ONE NIGHT IN MILAN (NAP) was always going best when returning from a break here last week. He had plenty in hand and is still improving so it’s hard to oppose Keith Dalgleish’s runner under a penalty today. Aye Right did well last season and won the novice event on this card 12 months ago. But his latest victory came over 3m and this will be his first appearance since April. The step up in trip is a concern for Nayati while Squouateur’s losing run stretches back to 2016 and he’s only run once over hurdles in three years.
