FormscanBy Alan Magee - AWAY TO MILAN ran well after a lengthy absence when third to Binge Worthy over 2m3f here in November and should be suited by this drop back in distance after again weakening in the closing stages over 2m3f here on New Year’s Eve. Ragmans Corner opened his account at Galway in October and comes here off another creditable run when second to Arch Enemy at Fairyhouse, while Tuckmill is another for the shortlist. The Court Cave gelding has won three times over hurdles including at Wexford last summer and has been in good form since over fences including when successful at Down Royal. Royal Time and Makfils are others to consider.
