Verdict
NIGHT IN MILAN scored over hurdles at this track before going close in a chase at Newcastle last time off today's mark. Keith Reveley's charge looks to have a good opportunity to open his account over fences here. King Jack arrives on the back of a frustrating run of seconds in similar company and Cock Of The Rock makes his chasing bow after a string of placed efforts over timber. Cottage Acre won a chase at this time last year but has failed to complete his last two starts and Sum Laff's woeful form continued when pulled-up at Leicester last time.
