Well suited by the step up to 3m when 2 lengths second of 16 in handicap here last month. Race 12 days later may have come too soon and he's worth another chance.

Forecasts

Howling Milan (9/4), Storm Goddess (7/2), Supremely Lucky (9/2), Jarveys Plate (13/2), Haul Away (15/2), Lord Napier (9/1), Manning Estate (14/1), Aaron Lad (33/1)

Verdict

HOWLING MILAN's runner-up effort over C&D last month appeals as strong form, and though he flopped when heavily backed next time, a 12-day turnaround may have been against him. He's well worth another chance, with Haul Away and Supremely Lucky feared most.

  1. HOWLING MILAN (IRE)
  2. HAUL AWAY (IRE)
  3. SUPREMELY LUCKY (IRE)
