3/1

Winner five times from six starts in point-to-points in 2017. Ridden by today's jockey on each of those starts but pulled up off a 2lb higher mark on latest handicap chase start at Ffos Las 14 months ago. Worth a check in the market on his rules return.

Form: 1112-11

VALLEYOFMILAN represents the in form Donald McCain yard and he can take this competitive handicap chase off a mark 1lb lower than when finishing third here in May. The selection has since finished a well held third at Uttoxeter and can get the better of Universal Soldier who has been in good form in point-to-points this year while Charlie Wingnut, runner-up here earlier this month can claim third.
