7/4

Presenting Milan⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: R G Hawker

3/1

Bred for stamina and has shown plenty to work on when placed on both starts to date, third in a Worcester bumper 57 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 23

Topco

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: B Lund

66/1

Falco gelding. Dam, 5f-1¼m winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 21f) Playa Blanca. Not an obvious sort on paper.

Form:

Celtic Queen

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan

18/1

3,500 gns 3-y-o, Bated Breath filly. Closely related to 2 winners, including bumper winner/fair hurdler Colonial Empire, stays 2½m, and half-sister to a winner on Flat. Not without hope based on pedigree.

Form:

Chesky's In Milan⁴²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien| BF

13/2

Didn't show much for Milton Harris despite being strong in the betting on her second outing. Hasn't been seen for 14 months and has joined a new yard now.

Form: 0/4-

What U Wanna Do Is

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: James Owen

5/2

Flemensfirth filly. Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful 17f hurdle winner No Time To Wait. Dam (c135/h139) 2m/17f hurdle/chase winner. Worth a chance to make a winning start.

Form:

Forecasts

Desert Guest (7/4), What U Wanna Do Is (5/2), Presenting Milan (3/1), Chesky's In Milan (13/2), Celtic Queen (18/1), Mount Vinson (50/1), Topco (66/1)

WHAT U WANNA DO IS has a relation who won a bumper and represents a thriving stable, so she's preferred to Presenting Milan, who has shown a reasonable level of form in placing on both starts to date. Desert Guest is another notable newcomer.
