4/1
C&D winner who resumed from 6 months off with a creditable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (23.2f, good) 24 days ago. One to consider off an easing mark.

7/2
Still to score over hurdles and he reverts to this sphere having been pulled up in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, soft) 54 days ago. Handily weighted if getting back on song though in refitted blinkers.

Took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, good) 29 days ago. Can make his presence felt.

11/4
Much improved on his second handicap start when runner-up at Stratford (22f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Merits serious consideration off the same mark with this step up to 3m also a likely plus.

10/1
Well-bred and in top hands but has shown little in a trio of novice hurdles. Cheekpieces go on for his handicap debut with lots more required.

Lightly-raced maiden who hasn't shown much in a trio of handicap starts this season. Major improvement is needed.

Still a maiden and pulled up in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Needs a subsequent wind op to spark a revival.

Posted his best effort on his handicap bow when third of 7 over 2m4f here 19 days ago, despite going in snatches. Not discounted eased 1 lb.

Remains a maiden after 20 runs and only tenth of 12 at Stratford (22f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Very hard to make a case for from 5 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Dublin To Milan (11/4), Heaven Smart (7/2), Ballyvaughan Bay (4/1), Jumble Jury (5/1), Kankin (8/1), Marengo Bay (10/1), Jewel Eyed Judy (18/1), East Eagle (22/1), Top Drawer (80/1)

Verdict

A number of these arrive with question marks against them so this looks a good opportunity for DUBLIN TO MILAN to build on his recent Stratford second now stepping up in trip and gain a breakthrough victory. Kankin could emerge as the main danger if building on his Fontwell fourth, with Ballyvaughan Bay and Heaven Smart both worthy of consideration too.

  1. Dublin To Milan11/4
  2. Kankin8/1
  3. Ballyvaughan Bay4/1
