This 7-year-old Milan gelding was a four-time runner-up in five Irish Point-to-Points over 2023??"24, but didn’t show a great deal in three starts over hurdles in maiden/novice company. There is plenty to like about his physique ??" a chasing type with scope for the future. Having received a mark of 92, he was sent straight over fences in a 3m handicap at Ayr, with Brian Hughes taking the ride. That run was better than the bare 16.5-length defeat would suggest: the jockey took him wide throughout and didn’t knock him about when outpaced around the home bend. Now dropped 5 lb, if he has the ability he should be making an impact. Four places on offer at Sky Bet.
