THE MIGHTY MILAN is the form pick and has to be the selection. A dual bumper winner, he's been very highly tried in his two starts over hurdles and his fourth behind King Of The Picts in a Tipperary Grade 3 last time was a promising effort. Those with form over hurdles look nothing special but Badgerfort made a very encouraging bumper debut at Punchestown in April and Philip Fenton should have him spot-on for his hurdling bow. Cyprian Prince won a point-to-point in December so should have no problems taking to hurdles while Little Arrows won five times on the Flat and has been in excellent form in handicaps this summer.
