SOLDIER IN MILAN built on a good effort and looked well worth his place at this higher level when opening his chase account at Punchestown 18 days ago. Open to further improvement, he shades preference over Fleur In The Park who lines up here following a good second in Grade 2 company in November. C'est Ta Chance is another player for all his long-term future may lie back over further.
