Verdict
Fill The Power fell in the Grade 2 Towton Chase at Wetherby four weeks ago but was second to the smart Rocky Creek at Warwick earlier and was only beaten half-a-length in a handicap over track and trip in December. But the ground here should suit four-times hurdles winner THEMILANHORSE and he'll have had plenty of schooling. Paul Nicholls' charge can make a winning start over fences. Night Force has been beaten less than a length in his last two starts but lacks the scope of his two rivals.
