RUN TO MILAN's bumper win worked out really well and he is of plenty of potential over hurdles. His second on debut here last month is as good a form as anything on offer in this race and he ought to improve further for the experience and this extra distance. Storm Control ran well also on his hurdles bow at Ascot and this winning point-to-pointer rates the main threat. Turangi wasn't far behind Storm Control and is open to any amount of improvement.
