Verdict

SUMMER IN MILAN wasn't at his best when last seen over fences here in June, but he returns to hurdling after a break with his yard very much amongst the winners, so he's put forward as the answer. Lady Henrietta posted a respectable third at Worcester recently and is feared most ahead of Ivane, who's proven consistent since joining the James Owen stable.
