Ceasar Milan (1/2), Duke Of Lucca (9/2), Murrayana (5/1), Hazy Tom (13/2), According To Trev (10/1)

CEASAR MILAN ran well enough in the Grand Military Gold Cup at Sandown last month to suggest that he'll appreciate this drop to 2m4f today. The selection weakened quickly in the closing stages and his previous rules form also suggests that this trip is likely to prove more suitable. Duke Of Lucca ran well under his amateur jockey until unseating at the last at Newbury last month and can chase the selection home today while Hazy Tom has placed in similar races to this in the past and can claim third.
